Looking at it with fresh eyes, this looks like a disklabel problem. Of course, I'm guessing, but that's what it looks like to me. Basically, the root partition is remounted read-write, and it's at this point that the failure occurs, because the device name specified for the re-mount operation is different from the device name originally specified for the mount operation. You wanna try update your boot blocks with disklabel(8) and boot0cfg(8)? Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
