OF> And are you sure that you rebooted the right machine? ;-) sysctl kern.bootfile said correct /boot/kernel/kernel And it was the right machine, but... in a bit "interesting" configuration: there are two pairs of mirrored disks: ad4/ad6 with gmirror, and ad8/ad10 from previous installation, from which I did migrate to the first pair. All file systems are refered as /dev/mirror/* Strange and mysterious thing was sourced by ad8 somehow activated to be *BIOS BOOT DISK* - so boot blocks, loader *and kernel* was loaded from there, but root mounted from correct /dev/mirror/m0a. Removing old pair of disks returned situation to controllable ;-) Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] [ FreeBSD committer: marck@FreeBSD.org ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
