I dumped/restored the system to ad8 yesterday and booted from it.
The system *did* boot but (alas) the /dev/ads1a(f) slices were mounted. So,
the system loaded the *old* root partitions (from the first drive). After
googling and reading I think I need *boot0cfg* but I'm a bit scary to ruin my
new boot (ad8) drive.
So, what is the exact syntax to make my system not only boot from ad8, but
also mount the /deb/ad8s1 slice as root slice?
I'd try to set
rootdev="disk8s1a"
in /boot/loader.conf in /dev/ad8s1a since boot loader and kernel seem to
be read from there.
Before editing, please interrupt the boot sequence into command prompt
mode and enter the command "lsdev" to have a look how the disks are
enumerated by the boot loader.
