Manual mount root issue

[David Cramblett]

My FreeBSD 5.2.1 server had a 4.5 GB HDD.  I decided to upgrade it with 
a larger drive.  I installed a new drive on the second IDE channel which 
made it ad2, of course, my original drive was ad0. I created a 
partition, boot loader and matching slices on the new drive.  Then I 
copied the old drive to the new drive.  Once finished, I removed the 
original drive and installed the new one on the primary channel.  When I 
booted up everything appeared normal, but when the system starts to 
mount "/" it gives no error or warning and just drops to a "Manual mount 
root specification" prompt.  If type "ufs:ad0s1a" it boots up and 
everything is perfect.  This is the same slice "/" was on the old drive 
as well.


I have tried the following with no success:

Checked /etc/fstab

boot0cfg -v -B ad0

bsdlabel -B ad0s1

tried booting from a cd, going into post install config, fdisk, and set 
the partition as bootable, it already was.



Since upgrading the hard disk, I have upgraded the system to 5.5 and 
then to 6.2.  This system has been working great for over a week now, 
just have this boot problem.

Here is my fstab:

/dev/ad0s1a             /               ufs     rw              1       1
