Greetings, listmembers...

I am upgrading from 9.3-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p5 #0 r274452 to
releng/10. World builds fine; but kernel build halts with this error:

config: Error: device "atadisk" is unknown
config: Error: device "atapicam" is unknown
config: Error: device "vt" is unknown
config: Error: device "vt_vga" is unknown
config: 4 errors
*** [buildkernel] Error code 1

bmake: stopped in /usr/src
1 error

bmake: stopped in /usr/src
*** [buildkernel] Error code 2
1 error

For the first two (atadisk and atapicam), it seems that ahci will be the
replacement. But I am concerned about using ahci and whether or not my
fstab needs to be altered; here is its current form:

# Device        Mountpoint      FStype  Options         Dump    Pass#
/dev/ad4s1b     none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/ad4s1a     /               ufs     rw              1       1

/dev/ad4s1f     /var/tmp        ufs     rw              2       2
/dev/acd0       /cdrom          cd9660  ro,noauto       0       0
fdesc           /dev/fd         fdescfs rw              0       0

Is there and FAQ or similar for me to read about these?

Thank you for any assistance, and best regards,

Joe
