Wasn't trying to boot root but had same problem. Changed start_cmd="gvinum start" (note the "g") in /etc/rc.d/vinum (note the filename was not renamed) and suitably edit /etc/fstab and have had no problem since. Or apparently rather than use "start_vinum=YES" in /etc/rc.conf and changing /etc/rc.d/vinum, placing geom_vinum_load="YES" in /boot/ loader.conf does the trick. gvinum is said not to have all the features of vinum, but if vinum won't start on boot then it isn't of much good. gvinum has enough features for me to work. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
