Hi All,
I upgraded from 6.2 to 6.3 (I wanted to go to 8.1 but handbook says I need at least 6.3). I was using the generic kernel and used freebsd-update. My old kernel (not GENERIC, custom) still boots. But I use the new kernel installed by 6.3 it cannot mount the root. It drops me to a prompt to provide root device and pressing ? only lists acd0.
My old kernel after booting has / mounted from /dev/ad0s3a. I have two SATA hard drive. I have removed the second to see if that might have caused the issue but didn't change anything. From the FreeBSD boot menu if I select loader prompt and type lsdev it shows disk1s3a:FFS, disk1s3b: swap disk1s3d:FFS disk1s3e:FFS disk1s3f:FFS
Anyone know how I can get the new kernel to find the drive and mount root correctly. (My primary drive is partitioned with windows and FreeBSD).
