This machine is away from my reach. So, I faced with the problem when all is happened, and I could not get any information from anybody near the computer. The problem is: When the machine is booting. It probes the devices and when it comes to mount the file systems it just stops. Console is not locked I can reset the machine with ctrl+alt+del it normally closes and resets. I waited more than an hour but it just stays there. Cursor is at the left under the text "Mounting root from /dev/ad0s1a..." Enter or ctrl+c does not help. I could not find the problem or find a solution. I connected the disk to anouther FreeBSD machine and it is OK. I can mount the root of the hanging disk on this machine. But, when I connect the problematic disk as booting device. It is the same hanging again. So, the problem is not dependent to the hardware (maybe we can not exclude disk) So, I installed the OS from beginning. Now there seems to be no problem. I thought it might be a swap area issue or something, but I could not find out. Does anybody faced a problem like that before? Can somebody say what to look at if I face it again? Or, what to do?
