Greetings Rob, here's my /etc/fstab. This initially resides in /conf before clone_root copies it to /diskless_root/conf.
192.168.200.3:/usr /usr nfs ro 0 0 proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 I grep'ed all the files and checked the cpio's that clonet_root creates and there is no reference of /dev/ad0s1a. I am assuming that it is the kernel that tries to mount this by default. In fact this message is spit out by the kernel. Please cc: future replies to me as I am not subscribed to this list. Thanks for you help.
