Hi,
I was trying to build root filesystem in to the kernel (i.e using /dev/md0) for

But when i boot the kernel on the target, it fails to mount the md0 and drops

Every time the machine boots it runs into the mountroot prompt.
It cannot find the rootvp file on the /dev/ad0s1a.
Everytime i try to mount the /dev/ad0s1a it gives me the mountroot prompt
