If FreeBSD boot loader can not find a root partition (slice), you can help with a boot parameter, for example vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:ad4s4a" After booting, verify and update /etc/fstab, otherwise add it to /boot/loader.conf . Also, the FreeBSD boot slice must be marked as bootable ("active"). jb _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
