Hello,
I have a problem after adding a firewire hard
disk to my system. I did format and label the
drive and the drive works without any problem.
After a reboot I am getting the following message
after the firewire was detected:
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
The firewire disk is /dev/da1 and my root (/)
partition is /dev/da0s1a. After getting the above
error message I am getting a boot prompt which
allows me to manually specify an appropriate
device. If typing ? to get a list of available
devices, /dev/da0s1a is missing.
I guess the solution to is problem is pretty
trivial, but at the time I am to blind to see
the solution.
Any hints on how to solve this issue would be
appreciated.
