FreeBSD 6.1 hangs at mountroot> during bootup

[drseuk at sdf-eu.org]

Hi,

This has just occurred to one of our servers that installed and has been 
working fine for months. The only thing that changed between it booting 
and not booting was that we unplugged the keyboard and mouse prior to the 
last successful boot and now get the mountroot message (even though the 
keyboard and mouse are now plugged back in).

Does 6.1 assume that it should "become a serial console controlled server" 
automatically if no KB/ mouse is attached and then alter some 
configuration setting? (I'm guessing).

Regards,

James
