FreeBSD versions < 2.2.6 use the "compatibility slice" for the root filesystem, /dev/wd0a (or sd0a if you're SCSI). 2.2.6 makes you use the "real" device name, like /dev/wd0s2a, etc. Change your /etc/fstab and try again. --- Donald Burr - Ask me for my PGP key | PGP: Your WWW HomePage: http://DonaldBurr.base.org/ ICQ #1347455 | right to Address: P.O.
