Define "correct" then please, it doesn't work for my definition...
-Current as of aug 21th...
If I have this in my fstab:
/dev/ad0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0e /var ufs rw 2 2
And have NO wd* entries in /dev, it says on boot:
Changing root device to wd0s1a
Changing root device to wd0a
...
mount: /dev/ad0a on / special device does not match mounted device.
Bummer!
If however I have a /dev/wd0a it will mount that and show that in
a mount/df command, but then it doesn't fit what it is written in
/etc/fstab and that is bogus too...
So I still stick with my statement that the -current bootblocks/loader
doesn't have the computrons needed to use the ad device (or any non
wd/da/fd device for that matter) for anything usefull :)
