MacMini (3,1) running fine on 7.4 stable with root mounted from /dev/ad4s1a
So, I tried ditching the new fangled disk subsystem and resorting to the legacy disk subsystem as per /usr/src/UPDATING. Similar problem... ad4 is recognised in dmesg, ad4s1a fails to mount root and along comes the mountroot> prompt which only offers ad4[p1|p2]. Again none of these result in a satisfying experience.
Back to 7.4 which still boots without issue thankfully.
Any ideas?
- I compiled and installed a new 9.1 kernel (after reading /usr/src/UPDATING
- I rebooted and get the mountroot> prompt.
-
dmesg
showsCode:ada0: Previously known as ad4.
- However using the ? at the prompt, does not show ada0s1a but ada0p1, ada0p2 and ada0.
- None of ada0s1a, ada0[p1|p2] allow booting - each fails with error 19.
