Um, you told it that the kernel was on the swap partition. it should be "root on sd0" and that should be sufficient. > also, when I compile the kernel without "controller eisa0" and > "controller pci0", it does even look for 284x. why? doesn't or does? you need to turn off the device too; it'll probe anyway. I'm surprised it compiled without those options. Why would you want to do that.
