But Mr. Johnson said he had built a kernel. He didn't say that he rebuilt /sbin/mount. Perhaps that's the problem. Generally, 'make world' before you make and boot a new (upgraded, not just reconfigured) kernel. > > > Once all of the devices have been found and checked this new kernel > > attempts to change the device that root is on: > > > > changing root device to: wd0s2a > > I am unclear why this is wd0s2a instead of wd0s1a if the latter is really > your root partition. There has been a great deal of discussion on this list in the last few days about this of-by-one error. It boils down to: a) the slice number is one greater than it should be. b) don't worry about it. c) it will be fixed soon, but it's not as easy as it might seem. > > it then mounts swap and then begins the fsck. at this point it give the > > following error > > > > /dev/wd0a on /: specified device does not match mounted device. > > > > The compatability slice wd0a is going away and the code to mount root on > the actual slice has been put in place. > > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > > /dev/wd0a 180495 43910 122146 26% / > > /dev/wd1s1e 1205727 944425 164844 85% /usr > > /dev/wd0s1e 149279 4360 132977 3% /var This is the situation the new /sbin/mount can deal with but the old one can't.
