I have my unix drive in position ad0 and I want to install it as ad1 - I've done this before - I boot from the A: drive then at boot: I type 0:wd(1,a)/kernel and it continues to load from the slave position. Now I have a new drive which I want to do the same with. I am running into problems. The initial boot goes OK but when it runs into fstab it gioves some error like can't mount /dev/ad1s1a as / - different from mounted partition wd1s1a So I tried renaming wd1a to wd1s1a, wd1e to wd1s1e, etc.. but I get the same error, even though there is a /dev entry to match the fstab entry which also matches the mounted partition wd1s1a - I've done this before with success (somehow). I'm not sure the significance of wd versus ad - the Stable 4.0 version I upgraded from earlier versions used wd0 and wd1 while the Stable 4.0 I just installed from cdrom uses ad0 and ad1. Any idea what I'm missing? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
