Hello, I was running FreeBSD 7.0-BETA4 on a Dell Poweredge 750 and tried to use freebsd-update to upgrade to 7.0-RC1. I have successfully used freebsd-update before, e.g. (albeit a different machine) http://taosecurity.blogspot.com/2007/11/updating-freebsd-70-beta2-to-70-beta3.html I followed these steps on the Dell. fetch http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz tar -xf freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 7.0-RC1 upgrade sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install shutdown -r now Upon rebooting I encountered this error: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad2s1a Manual root filesystem specification: ...edited... mountroot> If I issue the ? command I see mountroot>? List of GEOM managed disk devices: acd0 fd0 I verified by booting the BETA4 CD that ad2s1a is the right location for the / partition. I next tried installing RC1 using a CD, but it failed to find any hard drive. I finished by reinstalling BETA4 from CD, which found the hard drive. ad2: 38146MB <Seagate ST340014AS 8.05> at ata1-master SATA150 $ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad2s1a 496M 127M 329M 28% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad2s1e 989M 22K 910M 0% /home /dev/ad2s1h 22G 4.0K 20G 0% /nsm1 /dev/ad2s1f 989M 12K 910M 0% /tmp /dev/ad2s1d 4.8G 755M 3.7G 17% /usr /dev/ad2s1g 5.4G 242K 4.9G 0% /var What info can I provide to help troubleshoot this problem?
