Here is a copy of my fstab file: > more fstab # See the fstab(5) manual page for important information on automatic mounts # of network filesystems before modifying this file. # # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 > The system will boot up once I type in the following at the mountroot prompt. ufs:/dev/ad0s1a I am just trying to figure out why I need to type that in. here is a snip of dmesg: ad0: 1033MB <IBM-DSOA-21080> [2100/16/63] at ata0-master BIOSPIO Manual root filesystem specification: <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ?
