Setting it blank seems to do the right thing. What happens otherwise is that the loader starts booting, then there's some code in it that "handily" parses the currdev's /etc/fstab for you and sets vfs.root.mountfrom to the root (/) entry from the fstab, then you wind up booting your old userland from god knows what kernel. I don't know what setting it to "ufs:/dev/md0c" would do. -- - Alfred Perlstein - Research Engineering Development Inc. - email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: 408-480-4684 _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
