Hello, I've installed a 6.0 here on my computer. Alright, all works fine but at boot time I've to specify manually a root filesystem. I checked the harddrive already with fsck in single user mode but the partition is clean. The entry in my /etc/fstab looks like this: /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 Can you please help me with this problem? -- Regards Julius Hacker http://www.julius-hacker.de julius@finalfuture.de OpenPGP-Key-ID: 0x4B4A486E

There might be a clue as to why it is not finding it automatically. David.
