Installing to the SCSI disk (da1). >Description: Kernel tries to mount da2s1a (does not exist) instead of da1s1a as root file system. >How-To-Repeat: During boot after fresh install from 3.3 CD: .... Waiting 15 .... changing root device to da2s1a changing root device to da2a error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2) da2* doesn't exist. da1a1a exists and contains a valid root file system. The pre-boot loader managed to successfully load the kernel from da2s1a (well disk...). >Fix: Trying ``set rootdev=/dev/da1s1a'' at the boot prompt didn't appear to work. Trying ``root on da1'' in a kernel didn't appear to work.
