Hi, I've successfully gotten FreeBSD 4.1 working on a 3ware Escalade 6000 card for the root partition (big thanks to Mike Smith for writing the drivers), but I can't get the system to boot automatically from it. It boots from Bios ok, but appears to have some problem with /boot/loader, and stops at the following message/prompt: Manual root filesystem specification: <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices <empty line> Abort manual input mountroot> If I enter "ufs:/dev/twed0s1e" at this point (where /stand/sysinstall ended up putting the root partition when it was a secondary drive) it boots as normal. I've tried adding rootdev=/dev/twed0s1e in /boot/loader.conf but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I've also tried making sure that /boot is also available on /dev/twed0s1a, where I think it's getting some boot information from. Basically I'd like this system to bootup automatically instead of pausing at this prompt. Any ideas?
