[Bjoern A. Zeeb]

Hi,

I am pxebooting an md_image as root fs. While this worked for cvsup
sources from around 20031115-1501 UTC it fails woth same kernel config
with sources from today 20031117-1435 UTC.

panic: Root mount failed, startup aborted.

nb: please ignore the '?' panic. This is another problem.


The problem seems to be triggered by following commit:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/geom/geom_subr.c.diff?r1=1.61&r2=1.62&sortby=date&f=h


If I can help to sort this out please let me know. I building too many
HEADs these days anyway ;-)
