For those who do not know what I am talking about, this is what is happening to me: I have compiled my kernel. Everything seems to be all right, except that on boot it cannot mount root. It displays: "mounting root from ufs:ad2s2a", and a failure message. Now, I am left at boot with an inquire for a manual root filesystem specification., like this: <fstype><device> mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices <empty line> abort manual imput mountroot> The HD where FreeBSD is installed is ad2 in my previous kernel and in this new one it is ad1. I have now found out that this is the source of the problem. I checked the partition table, and the slices are called ad2s2a ---> ad2s2g. If this is the case, no way I can mount root on a disk called ad1 with those slices. So, I'll pose a different question. Do you know of a possible way I can make my new kernel to spot my HD as ad2? To me this is the only solution possible. Teilhard Knight The Extraterrestrial Who ate my sandwich?home | help
