I can install 7.0-release and run freebsd-update successfully including the subsequent reboots. However, over the weekend I tried to go to stable again, and still, the subsequent reboot leaves me at a mountroot prompt. If I go ufs:ad8s1a at the prompt the root partition, of course I dont want to have to do this each time. If I use the september snapshot, the sata disk is visible. I just tried to run and iinstall a 6.4 prerelease, and then did a make buildworld && make kernel KERNCONF=SMP and that worked successfully. I see this behavior with a 160 gig wd disk as well as a 74 gig raptor(This weekend's test hardware). Brian
