I am trying to compile a new kernel. As I boot from a SCSI drive (the only one in the machine) I have to change config kernel root on wd0 to config kernel root on sd0 ... I thought ... but with this setting, it can't mount root, and the machine stops. I've got two partitions, one small dos, the other freebsd. The bsd one is split into 3 parts, / usr and swap: a: 65536 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4*) b: 287680 65536 swap # (Cyl. 4*- 21*) c: 4176900 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 259) e: 3823684 353216 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 21*- 259*) config kernel root on sd0a doesn't work either. Or should it be config kernel root on sd0s2 ? As the machine is at a remote location, I cannot 'just test it'. Who can tell me how to 'just do it' ?
