Is there any way to force a USB installation to identify the root as sd0a, when the disk number would normally be variable?
I could put in kernel config config netbsd root on sd0a type ffs but would NetBSD still decide for itself and fail to boot if it decides some other device is sd0? Or would NetBSD actually recognize boot device as sd0? Other possibility is to go to BIOS/UEFI and set boot priority with the NetBSD USB installation first. I haven't tested that yet. This question is mainly for NetBSD 6.x as opposed to -current, where I could use NAME= with GPT partitioning. I am practically abandoning NetBSD 5.x, not updating any more, doing very little on 6.x , but have a 6.x USB-stick installation that I might want to update, both i386 and amd64. Tom
