Chris, you've already got the suggestions on how to fix this, so this isn't a comment directly to you.
I thought we used GEOM labels for this, or is that only for embedded? I'm a little confused as to why the real disk/partition would be in fstab. I know for a fact I've done installs just like this (sorta...usb or CF->usb drive mounted in vmware) and never had an issue booting the resulting image. OTOH, with vmware, it looks like a real IDE disk and the disk number is unlikely to change (which brings me back to GEOM label :-/) --Bill On Dec 20, 2007 3:37 PM, Christopher Iarocci <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Chris, > > So I got the firewall installed on the hard drive, inserted into the Soekris > board and I'm able to see the boot up from the serial console.
