Thanks Eugene! It worked. ;) I've booted ad4s3a and escaped to loader prompt. currdev was disk0s3a USB stick was disk1s2a, which mounted, appears as da0s2a I used "more /etc/fstab" in order to get hostname HDD_hostanme Then at loader prompt: "set currdev=disk1s2a" Then again, I used "more /etc/fstab" in order to get hostname: USB_hostanme On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 6:45 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 9:03 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: >> I've escaped to loader prompt: >> Current device is disk0s3a, from which this loader is running. >> >> My USB stick is device1 and device1s2a is UFS /, on which I would like to >> reach some file or simply list directory. > > IIRC, there is no way to do this (but my memory is based on stable/7). > I extended some Isilon stuff to add a 'bootdev' command to the loader > that would allow for selecting alternate boot disks.
