How to mount mfsroot?
I am trying to set up NFS install, and need to modify mfsroot to not load sysinstall. But vnconfig is disabled in 8.0. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pxe/article.html suggests using vnconfig vn0 mfsroot But vnconfig is disabled in 8.0. So I ran: mdconfig -a -t vnode -f mfsroot mount /dev/md0 /mnt/ And got an error: mount: /dev/md0 : Invalid argument What's wrong?

Does dumpfs /dev/md0 return any valid info? Do you have any devnodes like /dev/md0s1or/dev/md0s1a ? There is not enough information in your original statement to diagnose this. ___ 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

You need to bsdlabel and newfs the md device.
