My slave ad1s1a (freeBSD) and my master ad0??? (windows). But when I remove the windows hardrive and turn my freeBSD into master I get an error. Manual root filesystem specification: <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> eg. ufs:da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices <empty line> Abort manual input mountroot> Do I have to mount each file system listed below? (slave) /dev/ad1s1a on / (ufs,local) /dev/ad1s1f on /tmp (ufs,local,soft-updates) /dev/ad1s1g on /usr (usr (ufs,local, with quotas, soft-updates) /dev/ad1s1e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) procfs on /proc (proofs,local) with /dev/ad0s0a on / (ufs,local) /dev/ad0s0f on /tmp (ufs,local,soft-updates) /dev/ad0s0g on /usr (usr (ufs,local, with quotas, soft-updates) /dev/ad0s0e on /var (ufs, local, soft-updates) procfs on /proc (proofs,local) And are there going to be any problems with my kernel? Do I have to recompile? And procfs file system? Where is this stored? Ram? ************************************************ Before removing the Win HD, edit your /etc/fstab file to replace /dev/ad1** with /dev/ad0** in the appropriate spots. Then shut down, remove the Win drive, turn the FreeBSD drive into the master, and boot up. Should work, unless I'm forgetting something. HTH, Jud ********************************************* ********************************************* One more thing - just noticed your proposed modified entries included /dev/ad0*s0*. There is no s0. Keep s1, just change /dev/ad1 to /dev/ad0 in each fstab entry. Jud To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
