yeah, this updated my ad* entries just fine, which was actually the
conclusion i'd come to a little while ago, i just didn't know how to do it.
Silly me thinking that "all" == everything.
all of this aside, the base problem remains. Even with the updated ad*
entries sitting in /dev, I still get a root mount failed error message on
boot with no way I can see to load the 4.7 kernel.
the 4.5RC1 kernel still loads. scratching my head..
Thanks for the help.
