Hello, I'm pretty stuck with the death of my bsd machine after attempt on upgrade from 6.2 to 6.3. Some time ago, I successfully upgraded from 6.1 to 6.2following the steps in the manual 1) cvsup source to specific release 2) buildworld 3) buildkernel 4) installkernel 5) boot 6) mergemaster -p 7) installworld 8) mergemaster 9) boot Now, after completing steps 1 to 5 the system won't boot and stucks at the following prompt bsd: Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad1s1a bsd: mountroot> the prompt has "?" command which shows available boot devices. The only device present there is my floppy (fd0) I can choose to boot to loader prompt but have no idea how to recorver, and more interesting, to figure out why that failure occurred? Any help is appreciated.
