Hi all,
I'm new to pfsense and a real novice with FreeBSD, so go easy on me ;)
I used the live CD of pfsense 1.2.3-RC1 to install to a hard drive for
use in a soekris net5501. When I boot while attached to the serial
console it appears that it can't find the root filesystem, and I'm
left with something like this (reconstructed from dmesg):
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad10s1a
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad10s1a
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot> ufs:ad1s1a
Trying to mount root from ufs:ad1s1a
So after entering the correct device it continues to boot properly. I
guess the device has changed names between install in one machine and
boot in another. After some searching I see that the time to edit
/etc/fstab would have been during the install, but that's water under
the bridge.
I tried editing /etc/fstab at the console with vi but it's telling me
it's a read-only file. I don't want to mess things up too badly, so
I'm wondering where to go from here. Is there a quick fix for this or
am I better off reinstalling and making the change from the installer?
Thanks.
