I have host with 3.4 installed. I want to upgrade it to 4.0. But I do not want to loose 3.4 (at least, for 1st time). I have following filesystems: /dev/wd0s1a on / (ufs, local, writes: sync 5 async 39) -- 3.4 lives here /dev/wd0s4f on /usr (ufs, local, writes: sync 6 async 53) /dev/wd0s4e on /var (ufs, local, writes: sync 114 async 173) /dev/wd0s1e on /4.0 (ufs, local, writes: sync 2 async 0) -- 4.0 will be here /dev/wd0s2f on /4.0/usr (ufs, local, writes: sync 2 async 0) /dev/wd0s2e on /4.0/var (ufs, local, writes: sync 2 async 0) So, I mounted filesystems as shown above, downloaded 'bin' directory of 4.0-RELEASE and untared 4.0 binaries to /4.0. Then I created devices in /4.0/dev, created /4.0/etc/fstab and rebooted. At loader I said: unload set currdev=disk1s1e boot kernel and got: ... Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle no devsw (majdev=0 bootdev=0xa0200400) Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices Abort manual input mountroot> What did I forget to do, what shall I type here and what does this message mean? (I mean what kernel did not find).
