Hi all.
I'm a newbie to FreeBSD. I added
'console="comconsole"'
to /boot/loader.conf and I got
'hptrr: no controller detected.'
on the next boot. I didn't change anything else except for the
'console=xxx'.
And I had had no problem before that. Could anyone tell me why?
I will very appreciate for your help :>
This is just the driver for the HighPoint Rocket Raid controller being
a bit too verbose. It's detected that you don't have anything compatible
with hptrr(4) and (unlike the usual behaviour of most Raid Controller
drivers (or drivers for any sort of hardware really)) it considers
this fact to be of such vital importance that it really had to print out
something on the console. Needless to say such behaviour has already
been quashed in 7-STABLE and will not appear in 7.1-RELEASE.
In other words, it's harmless and you can just ignore it.
I suspect that this output wasn't actually triggered by your changing
the console setting -- there's no conceivable way changing one should
affect the other -- but that changing the way the boot messages are
displayed has managed to draw your attention to it. You probably had
it before but never noticed.
Cheers,

But, actually it claimed that no controller detected and asked me to
specify the root filesystem manually, which wrote:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
Manul root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
I tried ufs:/dev/ad0s1a, which was the real root filesystem registered
in my /etc/fstab, but it still could not be mounted. And the same
direction came out again to asked me to point out the root fs.
I tried '?' also, but it seems that no disk devices were found... The
kernel told me "List of GEOM managed disk devices:", and nothing but the
same old direction followed.
