-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- To anyone interested, I figured out what the solution was. Apparently sometime ago I ran /dev/MAKEDEV all which seem to remove sM[a-h] from all xdNsM[a-h] (where N is the device number and M is the slice number) entries. Actually it didn't removed them, I just know that after running this script with the 'all' argument, I had to change all entries in my /etc/fstab from /dev/sd0s2a --> /dev/sd0a, etc to be able to boot the next time. When I attempted to use the new 2.2.6-Beta kernel which eliminated the "compatibility slice" the new kernel wouldn't boot. When I tried changing /etc/fstab to mount root on /dev/sd0s2a (because DOS/95 are on sd0s1 for games) it could not because that slice was no longer valid. The solution was remake each individual slice I need using /dev/MAKEDEV and referencing my current /etc/fstab for the correct slices. My system then booted correctly under the new kernel. - --------------- Burton Sampley bsampley@best.com or bsampley@haywire.csuhayward.edu PGP key available at http://www.best.com/~bsampley/pgp.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNQqvNXt2O8KJtMdBAQHHTAP/QFUxOYXLszQg9929I65AHNfHFDYHDeLd Eca0OLy9jzyW92HPwIBrBKUkooJyhg/A4QEzdAP3N54RL9CQgkdUsHinyA7uEmeb jy9xCsVSU4GM512U60W3Sb9gKbtLdwwuu9NdEhogAGHiU35NkyRbx0x7OQ9++JBx Vayno1crHH0= =RH0q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
