I was having some trouble with the serial console speed remaining at 9600 even after adding the "BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED= 115200" to /etc/make.conf. One poster suggested that I follow step 6 of 20.6.5.2 in the Handbook regarding installing boot blocks. Based upon that section and the bsdlabel man page, I issued the following command: bsdlabel -B da0s1a But now when I boot, I get this output: --- BEGIN --- Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices Abort manual input mountroot> --- END --- da0 is my boot disk and contains /. However when I configured the disk using sysinstall during installation, I set it up as "dangerously dedicated". Now I wonder if my problem is that I should have used "bsdlabel -B /dev/da0" instead of "da0s1a" when attempting to install boot blocks? Anyway, I've searched Google and found lots of references to this problem but none specific to my situation. Is it possible to fix this without reinstalling? If so, how? Please cc me on all replies as I'm not getting list mail since my system is down.
