After the first reboot the 8.1R GENERIC kernel loads (I'm using a custom kernel, so at this point the generic kernel is loaded manually) It then claims it can't mount / One thing that's odd is that instead of finding ad4s1a it finds ad4a. Same for the other filesystems. It however can't find init on this device. Did I miss something important in src/UPDATING? Thanks Joost Bekkers
