I had to convert a system from GPT to MBR. All went fine till I tried to reboot the system. It gets to mountroot and dies trying to mount from ufs:/dev/ada0p2. That won't work. If I enter ufs:/dev/ada0s1a then the system boots fine and runs. I need to alter mountroot so it tries the right

There appears to be a problem with dig and the +trace option in 9.2. I believe its also in 9.1. The command: dig freebsd.org +trace Only yields a dumb response. No useful information is provided. Running the same command on FreeBSD 7.2 yields a complete trace with lots of useful informatio

9.1 - 9.2 upgrade

I just did an upgrade using freebsd-update to 9.2. This system uses a custom kernel so I am rebuilding everything after the update completed. However, I noticed that /usr/src/UPDATING has not been updated. The first entry still says: 9.1-RELEASE. Is this correct? _

make buildworld

I am upgrading a server to 6.0 and encountered an error in make buildworld. However, I don't know what the error was as I piped stdout to a file, but not stderr. It was fairly near the end so I really hate to restart from the beginning again. The master server is a fairly slow machine.
