FreeBSD moshnroll 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #6: Mon Nov 24 21:37:28 CET 2008 root at moshnroll:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/ARUNDEL i386
>Description:
when 8-CURRENT tries to mount a rootdev that doesn't exist or isn't valid (no init) it panics. this isn't very userfriendly! you might consider using the code that is being executed when you boot with the -a switch in this case.
cheers.
