Trying to boot a kernel > r249381 fails and I see on the console the
loader prompt at "mountroot". Obviously, the bootloader doesn't find the
root/boot partition. On all FreeBSD 10 boxes I have this phenomenon is
the same, all boxes have GPT (UFS) partitions to boot from and set GPT
labels to address the partitions:
/etc/fstab looks like
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/gpt/root / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/gpt/swap none swap sw 0 0
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs rw,size=4294967296 0
0
/dev/gpt/var /var ufs rw 2 2
tmpfs /var/run tmpfs rw,size=4294967296 0
0
/dev/gpt/var.tmp /var/tmp ufs rw 2
2
/dev/gpt/compat /compat ufs rw 2 2
/dev/gpt/usr /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/gpt/usr.src /usr/src ufs rw 2
2
/dev/gpt/usr.obj /usr/obj ufs rw 2
2
/dev/gpt/usr.local /usr/local ufs rw 2
2
Booting the old kernel works fine.
