Message-ID: <20021017183802.A74694@carp.icir.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.2.5.1i Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, on a freshly cvsupped source tree, i notice that picobsd images with a preloaded MD_ROOT cannot boot anymore: the kernel goes up to this stage: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices Abort manual input mountroot> at which point you can proceed by specifying "ufs:md0" as the root path, and everything works fine. It certainly used to work (though i do not remember if the root path came out as md0c or just md0) up to a couple of months ago, roughly. Does this ring any bell on what might have changed more or less recently that affects this ? Who builds up the '/dev/md0c' name for the root filesystem ? thanks luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
