Situation: One of my boxes failed, and for various reasons it became easier to just scrub and rebuild it. 1) Using BSDinstall, I created the first disk: ada0p1 freebsd-boot 128k ada0p2 freebsd-swap 4g ada0p3 freebsd-ufs 25g 2) Installed off the CD, got it up and running, everything was good. 3) Like it's predecessor, this wants to run CURRENT. Used csup (tag=.) to update the source tree as of midnight last night. 4) Built world - OK. Build kernel - OK. Ran mergemaster - OK. Installed kernel - OK. 5) On rebooting, the loader(??) claims to not be able to find a bootable partition - i.e. I get a screen that ends in "mountpoint > ". Providing the presumptive value by hand returns "error 19". 6) Boot using installation CD and use "gpart show" to double check device names and partitions; everything looks good. 7) Try normal booting again, no go. This is my first time installing to a GPT partitioned system, and I have (obviously) failed to grok something. I checked src/UPDATING and found nothing which covered this. What is it, and how do I fix it? Respectfully, Robert Huff
