in /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT options ROOTDEVNAME=\"da0s2e\" must be specified as: options ROOTDEVNAME="da0s2e" else 'make depend' loses the string. w/o quotes it's just an undefined. parser change to eliminate quote requirements for config file defines obviated need for hard quotes in ROOTDEVNAME>. "config" does not grok the errors. am one of those who suffers from lack of politically correct attitude -- I dont do M$lop (refuse to), so why should I worry about slices? never need slices before M$lop.... however, that may change as SCSI disk sizes keep climbing and too large partitions take performance hits. alternative is to change MAXPARTITIONS? to 16? although options ROOTDEVNAME="da0a" does not alleviate necessity of specifying set rootdev=disk1a set currdev=$rootdev in /boot/loader.rc, it's just one more chink; it appears that the only way to beat the final mile is to patch the loader each time I update... attila out... ___ ___ ___ _ __ ___ | _ ) __| \ freeBSD: The Power to Serve! _ __ ___ ____ | _ \__ \ |) | Release 4.0 - The Fast Lane! _ __ ___ ____ _____ |___/___/___/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
