Hi List: I waited a few weeks before making the jump to 4.0-STABLE. The previous afternoon I cvsuped the 4.0-STABLE sources. Last night I attempted to go from 3.4-STABLE (previous cvsup/makeworld approx mid Jan) to 4.0-STABLE. I used the /usr/src/UPDATING file in addition to my normal documentation/procedures. All seemed to go well, until the point came to reboot into single user mode. At this point I ran into problems. My rookieness will show shortly. I seem to remember (although I'm a FreeBSD newbie) that the instructions "enter -s at the boot prompt" is no longer the way to enter single user mode, correct? At any rate, I let the kernel boot as normal (my intention, since I couldn't remember exactly how to get into single user mode, was to boot as normal, then do a 'shutdown now'). I saw "4.0-STABLE" flash by the screen and was temporarily elated. Then I got this error messages: Mounting root from ufs:wd0s1a wd0: bad sector table not supported wd0s1: bad sector table not supported Root mount failed: 22 Mounting root from ufs:wd0a wd0: bad sector table not supported wd0s1: bad sector table not supported Root mount failed: 22 What exactly does this mean? The hard drive appeared perfectly well under 3.0-3.4. Some things I tried to solve the problem: 1. Re-read all docs, make sure I did everything in order, correct, etc. 2. I saw where wd was going to be replaced by ad, so when I had previously build my devices with MAKEDEV it did it for both wd and ad. Is building both ok? Is order important? Forgive me this has been answered previously, I did make an attempt to search the archives, etc., but am in over my head. Thanks so much in advance, -Sean Noonan noonans@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
