Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Howdy, I installed FreeBSD 4.2 on a disk that was on a PCI controller, so the slices start with ad4s1a. But I'm wanting to use that disk in a different computer, one that only has the usual two onboard IDE channels. As you know it's not enough to edit fstab, changing the entries ad4 to wd0. How do I tell the kernel to load /dev/wd0s1a instead of /dev/ad4s1a as / ? I did bother to look through previous questions, and although several people have asked this question, there were no responses. Thanks!
