If you tell me how to determine the root device, I'll be happy to experiment further. Since the system won't boot, I can't run any commands, so all I have to go on are the messages on the screen. It's possible that something flashed across the screen early in the boot, but I don't think so - everything looks normal until the bus reset. One other thing (probably unrelated), that I just noticed - in the initial part of the boot, when I'm prompted for "Hit Enter to boot immediately, any other key for command prompt" the system is unresponsive to any key pressed. It just counts down to 0 and boots. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
