From: "Matthew Emmerton" To: , Cc: Subject: Re: i386/23108: Boot defaults to wd(4) devices rather than ad(4) Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2001 05:07:54 -0400 This is related to a bunch of i386 legacy code which "assumed" that a system without /etc/fstab would boot from a da/wd/fd device. [ See setroot() in sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c, in particular, comments around line 250. ] The legacy code was yanked from sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c in rev 1.151, and hasn't been MFC'd yet. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
