Hi Yukimi,

I think this is a bug/restriction with the DFly release/image build or boot 
procedure.

Currently, the release/snapshot images are built with the installation USB 
stick default/fixed to "da8" [1], and it is therefore set to mount root from 
"da8s2a".

Therefore should be a method to determine the actually device name (e.g., "da9" 
here) of the installation USB stick, and make DFly mount root from there 
accordingly.  Maybe the "initrd" image be the good/right place to implement 
this feature?
