I'm using some old Pentium PCs, to install and test FreeBSD 6.2 Te problem I have is when I move the HD containing the OS to another machine, I'm prompted to specify the root partition. I've checked the /etc/fstab file and everything is ok. I modified /boot/loader.conf with: rootdev="ad0s1a" and "/dev/ad0s1a" (the same in /etc/fstab) But I keep prompted to mount the root manually when the OS boots: Mounroot> ufs:ad0s1a What can I do? The only solution I can think is to reinstall the system in the new machine, but for other reasons I need to keep the installed OS. Thanks in advance.
