I'm trying to move my drives from the slow built-in IDE controller to a faster PCI card (Promise ULTRA TX2). The boot loader succesfully loads the kernel, and the kernel succesfully probes the Promise controller and the hard disk connected to it. But the root mount fails with error 6, even after I type in "ufs:/dev/ad4s1a" I looked through the kernel config files and LINT and could find nothing that seemed relevant. Any advice gratefully appreciated. Tim Kientzle
You probably haven't got the drive in /dev.
