Hello All,
After upgrading from 10.3 to 11.0 my two FreeBSD boxes were not booting anymore. Both had the same issue, which was easy to solve as long as you have direct access to the system. It prompted me at the mountroot> for a root device. In the past I used /dev/ad0s1a as / and /dev/ad0s1b as swap. Now ad0s1a was not available anymore and "?" gave me /dev/ada0s1 as the proper device. Fine. I changed the fstab and both are booting again. BUT
With 10.3
after upgrading to 11.0
I'm pretty sure I did something wrong. But what? Any ideas where my swap partition is?
In /dev/ I only find
Both systems are up and running. I would like to have my swap partitions back. Any suggestions?
Best Regards
Markus
