All, I have a Lenovo T61 with a 100g HD that I dual boot with FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE amd64 and Windows XP.
FBSD is on ad0s2a, with ad0s2b as swap, and XP on ad0s1a. Yesterday I booted up FBSD, started xfce4, started a terminal session, su'ed to root and did the following - running a generic kernel: # cd /usr/src # make buildworld # make buildkernel # make installkernel Then I exited xfce4, did sudo shutdown -r now, and got a mountroot prompt that I now can't get past. I can get to the loader prompt, and lsdev shows the following: cd devices: disk devices: disk0: BIOS drive C: disk0s1: NTFS/HPFS disk0s2a: FFS disk02sb: swap when I use '?' at the mountroot prompt I get: List of GEOM managed disk devices: acd0 Loader variables: vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ad0s2a vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw I've tried entering the following at the mountroot prompt, with no success: ufs:/dev/ad0s2a ufs:/ad0s2a ufs:ad0s2a ffs:/dev/ad0s2a and several other variations that I've found while googling, but no success anywhere. Does anyone have thoughts on how to remedy this?
