I sent this to freebsd-questions with no luck. I am desperately trying to
figure out this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I have been working for a good part of the day trying to get my compaq
system upgraded from 3.4 -stable to 4.0 -stable.
I am using the following hardware:
Compaq Proliant 1850R Server
Smart Array 3200 Controller
1 Raid 1 array
I have been running 3.4 for several months on this system with zero
problems.
I have followed all of the Instructions in the Updating file and setup a
custom kernel configured to use the ata and ida drivers (attached).
There is only one problem:
I am getting the following on bootup when the kernel boots and tries to
change to the root device I get the following:
ta0-slave: ata_command: timeout waiting for intr
ata0-slave: identify failed
acd0: CDROM <CD-224E> at ata0-master using PIO4
no devsw (majdev=0 bootdev=0xa0200000)
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/idad0a
no such device 'idad'
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot> ufs:/dev/id0a /
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/id0a /
My /etc/fstab contains the following:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump
Pass#
/dev/idad0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/idad0a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/idad0f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/idad0e /var ufs rw 2 2
proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
I have tried rebuilding the bootloader but no luck.
It seems that when I imput /dev/id0a into mountroot prompt it then mounts
root and changes over to /dev/idad0a which is in my fstab.
The funny thing is that there is no /dev/id0a in /dev and it will not
allow me to build it either.
I also posted a much more crazy post earlier but have since fixed most of
the problems except this one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
