And I think you meant this for variable names, in addition to what vfs.root.mountfrom should be (specific to RELENG_8): mfsroot_load="YES" mfsroot_type="mfs_root" mfsroot_name="/some/path/mfsroot" vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:/dev/md0" If using RELENG_7 and the mfsroot was made on RELENG_7, replace "/dev/md0" with "/dev/md0c". -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
