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?
