I updated a production box at work last night from freebsd 6.2 to 8-stable, via 7-stable. The upgrade went ok just a minor glitch in jumping from 7 to 8. Basically all the device names changed from mfid0s1[a-g] to mfid0[a-g]. I presume this is because the initial layout was in dangerously dedicated mode. Two issues here why did the naming scheme seem to indicate a more normal MBR disk layout in bsd 6 and 7. Second what is the current status of dangerously dedicated in 8-stable as i thought support was being dropped.
