Hi All,

I finally decided to try a March 12th kernel and
have been unsuccessful in getting it to work. Here
is my /etc/fstab for a kernel from around February
25th.

$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0a       /       ufs     rw 1 1
/dev/wd0s2      none    swap    sw 0 0
proc            /proc   procfs  rw 0 0
/dev/wcd0c      /cdrom  cd9660  ro,noauto 0 0
/dev/wd1s1      /u      ufs     rw 1 1
$ 

I have tried changing /dev/wd0a to /dev/wd0s1 but
to no avail.  The really odd thing is that the
kernel says something like this on startup

setting root_device to /dev/wd0s2a

As can be seen from above /dev/wd0s2 is my swap
device and I didn't know a beast like /dev/wd0s2a
even existed (at least /etc/MAKEDEV doesn't create
it).

What am I missing?

Thanks, Steve
