Hi, I'm working on an amd64 box (Opteron 146) with a soft raid with autoconfig in place. The soft raid works fine, but boot.conf is somewhat weird. Some experimenting revealed that I have three partitions which are recognized as boot partitions:
/dev/wd0a, /dev/wd1a, and /dev/raid0a. On /dev/wd0a, the /etc/boot.conf file is recognized (what happens if wd0 goes bad??). But the kernel listed therein is taken from /dev/raid0a: --------- /etc/boot.conf --------------- set timeout 30 boot /bsd.mpr --------- /etc/boot.conf --------------- This should give me a 30 second pause before the machine boots the named kernel, but instead, it boots _immediately_, so I have no time to make up my mind to choose a different kernel. What am I doing wrong? This is a machine originally installed with 3.7, now running stock 3.8 on it's way to -stable. TIA! Best, --Toni++
