Hello,
I installed a new ssd, following the instructions at:
http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/ssd.html
It all went fine, but when I try to boot the system it says:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/gptroot
ROOT MOUNT ERROR:
If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from
the loader prompt:
set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
Loader variables:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/gptroot
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
"gpart show" gives me this on the original hdd:
=> 34 5860533101 ada1 GPT (2.7T)
34 64 1 (null) (32K)
98 1950 - free - (975K)
2048 2097152 2 gptroot (1.0G)
2099200 8388608 3 (null) (4.0G)
10487808 83886080 4 gptusr (40G)
94373888 5766159247 5 gpthome (2.7T)
the ssd gpart looks like this:
=> 34 1953525101 ada0 GPT (932G)
34 6 - free - (3.0K)
40 1024 1 ssdboot (512K)
1064 984 - free - (492K)
2048 4194304 2 ssdrootfs (2.0G)
4196352 1048576000 3 ssdvarfs (500G)
1052772352 900752783 4 ssdusrfs (430G)
I modified my /boot/loader.conf with these lines:
vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/gpt/ssdrootfs
vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw
but still no luck. Even with the loader.conf lines it's still trying to
load /dev/ufs/gptroot. Any idea how I can get the ssd to be recognized by
the loader system?
Thanks
