Hi all!
As already mentioned on IRC some time ago, my desktop install of
Debian GNU/kFreeBSD that works fine with the -7 kernel just won't load
the rootfs when started with a -8 kernel (some screenshots at [0]).
That's a secondary IDE drive[1] where the freebsd root partition
is placed at ad1s11. I can mount that rootfs fine from a mini.iso (pre
8 times, will try tomorrow a newer one).
Getting past the kernel prompt is possible by using
ufs:ufsid/$something but that'll still fail later on with a mount:
Illegal arguments (screenshots follow tomorrow at the same place).
I tried a freebsd 8 livefs stuff which detects the partition
correctly but which I couldn't bring to mount it (I couldn't mount it
directly in the installer busybox but only did so modifying fstab +
mount -a).
Besides me delivering a full error message of the freebsd mount
tries anything I can try? I'm already loading the geom modules trough
grub (I hope!).
Regards
Christoph
