Well, I had some spare time, and tried it again, this time with FreeBSD 8.2-stable. I followed the build instructions at cooltrainer.org[2], with a few changes: - I'm NOT patching /usr/src/sys/kern/vfs_mount.c - I have a serial console, so I'm not patching /usr/src/etc/rc.d/fsck master.passwd and these seems to be updated already, so I haven't tried patching them: liblzma if_axe.c if_axereg.h I used the same usb memory stick as before, this one: ugen0.3: at usbus0 umass0: on usbus0 umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000 Root mount waiting for: usbus0 umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0 After much trial and error, I have found out that this memory stick simply doesn't work. Once I changed to a different memory stick, this one: gen0.3: at usbus0 umass0: on usbus0 umass0: SCSI over Bulk-Only; quirks = 0x0000 Root mount waiting for: usbus0 umass0:0:0:-1: Attached to scbus0 da0 at umass-sim0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Removable Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers da0: 488MB (1000944 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 488C) Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/kirkwoodroot everything works. Nice! tingo@kg-star$ uname -a FreeBSD kg-star.kg4.no 8.2-STABLE FreeBSD 8.2-STABLE #2: Thu Jul 21 13:19:08 CEST 2011 root@kg-v2.kg4.no:/usr/obj/arm/usr/src/sys/DOCKSTAR arm Details at my FreeBSD page for the DockStar[3]. One thing I noticed is that trhe memory stick gets quite warm after a few hours of use. Is this normal?
