Hi all, =20 I Have a FreeBSD booting ok. It=92s FSTAB is like this: #Device MountPoint FStype Options /dev/ad1s1b none swap sw /dev/ad1s1a / ufs rw /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto /dev/ad1s2d /backup ufs rw =20 When I boot the machine the boot manager shows me F1 and F2 to boot for. F1 brings me /dev/ad1s1a OK Still I want the machine to boot to /dev/ad1s2d This partition has a backup from another FreeBSD which I want to boot. =20 To accomplish this, I need only to change FSTAB ? What changes should I do ? changing /dev/ad1s2d to /dev/ad1s2a ? I read = that a means boot root partition =20 I tried to change FSTAB to=20 #Device MountPoint FStype Options /dev/ad1s1b none swap sw #/dev/ad1s1a / ufs rw /dev/acd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto /dev/ad1s2a /backup ufs rw =20 And it hanged when I pressed F1 (could not mount the root partition :P ) =20 Could you guys give any hint ? Sorry about this questions but I am a newbie to FreeBSD =20 Thanks once again Nuno
