/dev/da0s1h has an exact copy of /dev/da0s1a using dump/restore.
I want to configure things so that the next time I reboot it will
automatically boot from /dev/da0s1h without me having to do anything (since
it's remote I can't interrupt the boot process).
I know I need to modify fstab on da0s1h. And if I was on the console I'd
interrupt the boot process and type in 0:da(0,h)/boot/loader, but I'm not.
are you actually interested of running /boot/loader from partition h or
mounting root at /dev/da0s1h
Hmm... guess I didn't realize there was a difference :)
I want the OS to "run" from /dev/da0s1h so that I can then completely wipe
and replace /dev/da0s1a [1].
if second - add:
vfs.root.mountfrom="ufs:da0s1h"
to which file?
Thanks!

[1] The box is a new 5.3 install. My thought was to boot from da0s1h,
buildworld/kernel for 6 with a DESTDIR pointing to the original /
(da0s1a). Then reboot and have a clean install of 6.
