I'm trying to get 4.0-current to boot off of my third bios drive using /boot/loader (and loader.rc) instead of just /boot.config. So far I can get it to load the kernel and fsck the drives, but then it complains about mounted device not matching root device, leaving me in single-user mode with the following message. note - colons replaced with ], my shift key doesn't work [USB] mount] /dev/wd0s1a on /] specified device does not match mounted device. it then asks for a shell and I press enter mount - As best I can remember root[underscore]device on / [local, read-only] exiting the shell just returns me to the specified device... message. This is my current setup: BIOS 0: SCSI da0 Win95 BIOS 1: SCSI da1 Win95 BIOS 2: IDE wd0 FreeBSD containing /, /usr, and /var BIOS 3: IDE wd1 FreeBSD containing /usr/local My boot.config contains: 2:wd(0,a)/boot/loader and loader.rc contains: set root_disk_unit=2:disk2s1a set bootfile=kernel set boot_verbose set rootdev=disk2s1a load kernel load -t spash_image_data chuck_nebula.bmp load splash_bmp boot -flag a fstab # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/wd0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/wd0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/da0s1 /dos/c msdos rw 0 0 /dev/da1s1 /dos/d msdos rw 0 0 /dev/wd0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/wd1s1e /usr/local ufs rw 2 2 /dev/wd0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 /dev/cd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 -- Eric Hodel hodeleri@seattleu.edu "If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything." -- A.
