Hi all - I've got a remote server and for one reason or another have it setup like this: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 248M 180M 48M 79% / /dev/da0s1h 14G 496M 13G 4% /mnt /dev/da0s1h has an exact copy of /dev/da0s1a using dump/restore. I want to configure things so that the next time I reboot it will automatically boot from /dev/da0s1h without me having to do anything (since it's remote I can't interrupt the boot process). I know I need to modify fstab on da0s1h. And if I was on the console I'd interrupt the boot process and type in 0:da(0,h)/boot/loader, but I'm not. And I'm not entirely sure what files to tweak to make that happen. I've read the boot/loader manpages, but am just not getting it today. Anyone know what files to tweak? -philip
