Hi list,
I have a problem. A faulty machine was running freeBSD with a two
harddisk software raid.
now these two disks should be put into a new machine, but of course
it won't boot because it is new hardware.
Kernel just reports: cannot mount root device from /dev/mirror/gm0s1a
(or sth like this).
question is now, how can i add the correct driver into the initial
ramdisk (if there is such a thing on bsd) so the machine finds the
two drives?
second question: how can i afterwards remove the software mirror and
only use one harddisk from that moment on?
any help is very welcom, as i have no idea about bsd. i am a linux guy ;)
thanks!
problem solved. used a freebsd 7.0 CD to upgrade the kernel. this made
the scsi disks available to the system.
after that i used the livefs CD and removed the geom_mirror from
loader.conf and set the root device to da0s1a. et voila, everything works!
thanks for your help!
