My new custom kernel cannot mount root. I searched the list archives but
couldn't find anything helpful.
Here is the error message I receive:
*Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a*
*setrootbyname failed*
*ffs_mountroot:can't find rootvp*
*Root mount failed: 6*
**
Root is located at /dev/ad0s1a so I'm sure that my kernel conf is pointing
it somewhere else but I'm not sure which option in the conf file controls
this. On one particular list archive there was mention of the "bsdlabel"
command. Would that be what I need here?
Attached is my kernel conf file if needed.
Thanks,
Rob
