problem after installkernel going from 9.0 to CURRENT
Situation: One of my boxes failed, and for various reasons it became easier to just scrub and rebuild it. 1) Using BSDinstall, I created the first disk: ada0p1 freebsd-boot128k ada0p2 freebsd-swap4g ada0p3 freebsd-ufs 25g 2) Installed off the CD, got it up and running, everything was good. 3) Like it's predecessor, this wants to run CURRENT. Used csup (tag=.) to update the source tree as of midnight last night. 4) Built world - OK. Build kernel - OK. Ran mergemaster - OK. Installed kernel - OK. 5) On rebooting, the loader(??) claims to not be able to find a bootable partition - i.e. I get a screen that ends in mountpoint . Providing the presumptive value by hand returns error 19. 6) Boot using installation CD and use gpart show to double check device names and partitions; everything looks good. 7) Try normal booting again, no go. This is my first time installing to a GPT partitioned system, and I have (obviously) failed to grok something. I checked src/UPDATING and found nothing which covered this. What is it, and how do I fix it?

No root partition, probably. :-) This is my first time installing to a GPT partitioned system, and I have (obviously) failed to grok something.

That's why _I_ prefer old-fashioned MBR partitioning with sysinstall which has never failed me. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I'm using this for ports, will convert for source ... probably in the next round after I deal with this. 5) On rebooting, the loader(??) claims to not be able to find a bootable partition - i.e. I get a screen that ends in mountpoint . Are you sure this isn't the mountroot prompt? Right you are; sorry, typing from memory on a different system. It indicates that the / partition cannot be mounted to continue booting.

No root partition, probably. :-) Duh. :-) That's why _I_ prefer old-fashioned MBR partitioning with sysinstall which has never failed me. :-) There's something to be said for that. On the other hand, GPT is the rising tide and one has to learn to swim sometimes.
