Hello,

I have upgraded from 4.1-Release to 4.2-Beta.
I've built a GENERIC kernel and run MAKEDEV all.
But MAKEDEV didn't recreate the devices which are listed in fstab
such as da0s1a.
The new kernel failes to mount the root filesystem.
The messages are:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a
no such device "da"
setrootbyname failed

Then I get to mountroot>. The ?-command lists several devices but no 'da'.

How can I make the new kernel run?
Is there some documentation about new devices in 4.2-Beta?

-Hanspeter
