I am confused! The /boot/loader is "announcing" that it wants the root device to be "da0s1a".
It appears that the "normal" fstab entries want "sliced" versions as well, eg. # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/da0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 SO! Why does "sh MAKEDEV all" NOT make the partition entries for the slice(s) ??? ie, "sh MAKEDEV all" only makes the "compatability" slice entries -- da0s1, da0s2 etc. It requires a "sh MAKEDEV da0s1a" to get the slice/partition entries. I checked on the "standard" entries in "disc2" of the "release" cds (/R/cdrom/disc2/dev) and the partition entries are not there either for the "da" and "wd" entries. Have I totally lost the plot on device naming.....??? Harry. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
