Hi! I have two SCSI HDs on an Adaptec 2940UW, which have ID0 and ID2. There are no other HDs (especially no IDE). Both HDs have an installation of FreeBSD (2.2.2). To switch from boot device ID0 to ID2 I simply changed the boot device in the controllers BIOS (I wanted to switch statically rather then typing "0:sd(1,a)/kernel" again and again). But whenever the system boots from ID2 it "switches root to sd0" after device probing. It has booted the correct kernel from sd1 (ID2) but the wrong devices are mounted, because it mounts /dev/sd0a as / and reads the wrong /etc/fstab. Any ideas? Thank you for your help, Gunnar -- ###################################################### # # # "5.6 Die Grenzen meiner Sprache bedeuten die # # Grenzen meiner Welt." # # # # -- Ludwig Wittgenstein # ######################################################
