> I see this: > > Root mount failed: 22 This suggests you may have an old loader, or the loader's parsing of your /etc/fstab file may be failing. I probably need to add a diagnostic to it to help us track this down. > Mounting root from ufs:da0s4a > [snip] > Root mount failed: 6 > Mounting root from ufs:da0a <-- this is defined in my config file This indicates that we're using the fallback code (intended for this purpose), and that you have a "truly dedicated" disk, ie. the s4 entry is "historically bogus", so whilst the kernel etc. was loaded using slice 4, the disk is not actually sliced at all. There would need to be _two_ error 6 failures before you got to the point where the compiled-in default was tried, I think. > It's normal. Some change which phk introduced into /sys/kern/vfs_conf.c, > I think. No. It _shouldn't_ be normal, provided that your /etc/fstab refers to the correct device. -- \\ Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. \\ Mike Smith \\ Tell him he should learn how to fish himself, \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ and he'll hate you for a lifetime. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
