After reinstalling FreeBSD (either 2.1.0-R, 2.1-Stable-snap, or the 2.2-Current-snap) the kernel boot sequence determines it's on sd1, and proceeds to try and mount root there. I have no sd1, and the system properly finds the drive during the boot sequence as sd0. Obviously this doesn't work too well. I get a panic, and a reboot. I can make the system boot properly by using the "hd(1,a)/kernel" option at init. When I boot with hd(1,a)/kernel, the init lines indicates that I'm booting from sd0, not sd1, as it would have defaulted. This doesn't seem to be an option during my kernel build, so what might be wrong? This is an Asus Pentium 133, Triton, 32meg RAM, a Western Digital EIDE drive as 'wd0', and a Quantum Empire 1080s hanging off an NCR 810. All slices are in one partition on the Quantum (sd0). Can anyone help? -- mat. +-Matthew Stein-------------------------------------------- matt@bdd.net-+ | Network Design phone: +1 519 823-8577 | | ButtonDown Digital fax: +1 519 823-9556 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
