This is a re-mailing. I didn't get any answers, if there are
any.

Any clues?

2.2.6-RELEASE

autoconf.c:setroot() finds wrong root device in following:

  1. booteasy
  2. boot device, second scsi drive
  3. second scsi has no slices (raw disklabel)
  4. config kernel lists sd1a as root
  5. no IDE in the kernel
  6. 2 SCSI cards, ahc1 and bt0

  boot loader finds and pulls in kernel from ufs, kernel
  inits correctly, at the end it says
  "changing root device to wd1s4a"

  Even wierder: boot.config has '-rv' all ignored, I don't
  get either -r or -v functions during boot. However, it
  announces the flags in the boot.config notice.

  If I type in -r at the boot prompt, kernel finds correct
  root and boots normally.

  I can boot the system, but it won't autoboot because of
  the combined wrong root calc and ignore of boot.config.

  Any idears?

  Dan
