With todays' build, the previous problems went away. Other problems have
replaced them (sio's wierd again for alpha), but that's a different
story.

At 2MB the Alpha fixit floppy isn't very useful. Nor is there a live

You never mount 'r' devices. That should be '/dev/ad0a',

Sorry- maybe more of an edge case. It really has to do with 'ad' support
seemingly vanishing from the alpha. Or, rather, it's hard to say exactly
what has happened:
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/rad0a
no such device 'rad'
setrootbyname failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6

I can boot the old kernel. A MAKEDEV using the new MAKEDEV has now wiped
all block devs, so swapon, etc. ,fail.. However, this is the conundrum-
it's not safe to do a 'make installworld' on a two week old kernel, but

Well, I am truly f*cked now. I read enough of this thread, saw nothing new
in UPDATING, and did the following:
alpha
kernel from today
MAKEDEV from today
(but not a make world install- the binaries/libs are ~week old)
cannot get out of single user mode. fsck core dumps.

I belive I have now fully assimilated the bdevs into the cdevs in
the kernel. This means that we have reached the day where it should
be of no consequence if you mount /dev/wd0a or /dev/rwd0a.
Vinum users: Don't do anything to your vinum configuration until
grog tells you it is OK!
