>Organization:
Universidade de Brasilia
>Environment:
>Description:
setting options ROOTDEVNAME=\"ufs:da0a\" on my kernel config file so that whenever I boot with kernel -r the kernel should use that as the root file system dos not work.
>How-To-Repeat:
Insert options ROOTDEVNAME=\"ufs:da0a\" on the kernel config file, config a new kernel, compile and install it.
On reboot (second stage boot loader) type kernel -r at the boot prompt and the kernel should use da0a as the root file system. Instead, it will prompt you for the root file system name.
The reason is that the ROOTDEVNAME options file is not being included in the (I can't remeber the file name. grep for ROOTDEVNAME in /sys/kern/*)
