>Description:
I can install 4.4 no problems. But when I try to install 4.6 (or after cvsup-ing the latest RELENG_4 source and compiling), I get the following during boot:
ppi0: <Parallel I/O> on ppbus0
acd0: CDROM <E-IDE CD-ROM CR840S> at ata1-slave BIOSPIO
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
no such device 'ad'
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
When I try the '?' option, I get the following:
Possibly valid devices for the 'ufs' root:
"console" "ctty" "mem" "pts" "ptc" "log" "fd" "sc" "lpt" "psm" "FD" "bpf" "sio"
"tun" "pci" "ppi" "md" "xpt" "kbd" "acd" "asr" "ata" "iir" "MFS"
then the "Manual root filesystem specification:" message
Machine is a fairly old Gateway Pentium 100-mHz box with two (fairly old/small) Western Digital hard drives in it - a 2-gig (I think) and a 4-gig.
