Ok, the sysinstall bugs are fixed and committed after I did a test install. Also, the kernel fixes since 5.2.1 allowed this box (HP rx2600) to properly probe all the PCI busses (it got the bus numbers wrong before) and see the ATA controller (and thus acd0) as well as fxp0, which is nice. However, the loader doesn't tell the kernel what filesystem to mount as root, so I always have to manually enter in 'ufs:/dev/da0p2' at the mountroot prompt. Does the mountroot tunable have to be specified in loader.conf for all ia64 machines or does /etc/fstab need to be copied to /efi/etc/fstab or something? -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve" = http://www.FreeBSD.org
