Can you boot single-user and send me the output of 'mount'? If you are showing "root_device" on /, you need to re-sup, rebuild and reinstall your bootblocks, then go back to your old /etc/fstab. Note that mount and fsck are supposed to ignore the /etc/fstab settings for / if they can work out what's already there. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ m...@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msm...@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msm...@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
