However, after the installation completed= the boot process failed. This is because the device name for the SD card chang= ed (from /dev/da1s1a) after the install and I had to label the partition (using tunefs) and manually edit the /etc/fstab file to get it working. All of th= is could have been avoided if the handbook had stressed the usefulness/importa= nce of using labels (especially if installing to removable media) during the di= sk selection section of the installation process. It would also be good if the FreeBSD installer were to prompt to label the installation partition (again during the disk selection section of the installation process), especially = if installing to removable media. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
