When attempting to boot a restored V4.0F unix system I get the error:
panic (cpu 0): vfs_mountroot: cannot mount root
Whenever I try to boot a rebuilt kernel I get the error.
When I try to boot genvmunix it is fine.
I have installed (from CD-ROM) a default root system on another disk drive
and that boots fine (although root is UFS in that case).
I am not sure if it is a disklabel problem, firmware issue, or ...
I have recently updated the firmware, and the default and genvmunix boots
work O.K. so I don't think it is that. Is that logic correct?
I believe I should be using the the following disklabel commands for
preparing my target device. Are they correct?
disklabel -rw -t advfs re0 SWXCR
disklabel -e re0
(expand the a partition to 512MB for root, expand b partition for swap,
reduce g partition for /usr)
mkfdmn /dev/re0a root_domain
mkfset root_domain root
mount, vrestore etc.
Regards,
Mark.
