My FreeBSD 5.2.1 server had a 4.5 GB HDD. I decided to upgrade it
with a larger drive. I installed a new drive on the second IDE
channel which made it ad2, of course, my original drive was ad0. I
created a partition, boot loader and matching slices on the new drive.
Then I copied the old drive to the new drive using tar. Once
finished, I removed the original drive and installed the new one on
the primary channel. When I booted up everything appeared normal, but
when the system starts to mount "/" it gives no error or warning and
just drops to a "Manual mount root specification" prompt. If I type
"ufs:ad0s1a" it boots up and everything is perfect. This is the same
slice "/" was on the old drive as well.
What's in your /boot.config and /boot/loader.conf?
DES
I have no boot.config.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /]# cat /boot/loader.conf
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- #
userconfig_script_load="YES"
I also tried an option I found while searching for a solution
root_disk_unit="0"
although that did not help.
