Hi!
I have host with 3.4 installed. I want to upgrade it to 4.0.
But I do not want to loose 3.4 (at least, for 1st time).
I have following filesystems:
/dev/wd0s1a on / (ufs, local, writes: sync 5 async 39) -- 3.4 lives here

/dev/wd0s4f on /usr (ufs, local, writes: sync 6 async 53)
/dev/wd0s4e on /var (ufs, local, writes: sync 114 async 173)

/dev/wd0s1e on /4.0 (ufs, local, writes: sync 2 async 0)  -- 4.0 will be
here
/dev/wd0s2f on /4.0/usr (ufs, local, writes: sync 2 async 0)
/dev/wd0s2e on /4.0/var (ufs, local, writes: sync 2 async 0)

So, I mounted filesystems as shown above, downloaded 'bin'
directory of 4.0-RELEASE and untared 4.0 binaries to /4.0.
Then I created devices in /4.0/dev, created /4.0/etc/fstab
and rebooted.
At loader I said:
    unload
    set currdev=disk1s1e
    boot kernel
and got:
...
Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle
no devsw (majdev=0 bootdev=0xa0200400)

Manual root filesystem specification:
  <fstype>:<device>  Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
                       eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
  ?                  List valid disk boot devices
  <empty line>       Abort manual input

mountroot>

What did I forget to do, what shall I type here and what does
this message mean? (I mean what kernel did not find).
