    Hi,

    today's (Apr 13th) CURRENT can't find the root fs anymore

    This happened while updating from Apr. 10th to Apr 13th,
    just after 'make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC' and
    'reboot.'

    Here todays messages:

    Mount root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a

    ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
    Root mount failed: 6

    Old -current kernel as of Apr 10th works okay though
    and can mount all filesystems without problems. I used
    the live CD in fixit mode to rename /boot/kernel.old in
    /boot/kernel and reboot for now.

    When would it be safe to cvsup again? ;-)

    Thanks,
    -cpghost.
