Re: kernel can't find root filesystem

From: "M.Hirsch" <M.Hirsch@xxxxxxxxx>

I had the same problem with 6.1. But only on some occasions, not always (iirc).
The installations I made over the last weeks had all very different environments and deployment methods.
I can't tell anymore when it happens and when not because I simply added the below loader.conf setting to my postinstall-script.

Add "vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:da0s1" to /boot/loader.conf to fix it.

Thank you. That solves my problem even though it seems more like
a workaround than an actual solution. But I'll take it. :-)

Also, someone responded asking if I had a valid entry in /etc/fstab
for the root filesystem.

foo# cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/da0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/da0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/da1s1d /local ufs rw 2 2
/dev/cd0 /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0
