Hello:
I was upgrading a system from 7.2 to 8.0 and all was going well until
the make installkernel step. The / partition filled up when the new
kernel was installing. Since /boot was taking up most of the space I
moved /boot to /usr/ and create a symlink in / then I did make
installkernel again and everything completed. Unfortunately I didn't
move the necessary bits from /usr/boot back to / before rebooting and
now the system won't boot. I'm trying to use the fixit option with
the livefs cd to repair the system, but I'm having problems with
gmirror. The disks are in software raid0. Can anyone point me in the
right direction to get /usr and / mounted from the mirror using fixit?
Because the livefs uses a MFSROOT system (allows you to make changes
to the ram-based disk image after boot), you have to load kernel
modules before the mfsroot is mounted. As an example..
boot cd
escape to loader prompt
load /boot/kernel/geom_mirror.ko
load /boot/kernel/smbfs.ko (if needed, i had to load two modules the
time i had to use it)
boot
And I would like to note.. raid0 is striping, gstripe. raid1 is
mirroring. I find it hard to recognize raid0 as your boot device.
Let me know if you need further help.
