Hi all! As already mentioned on IRC some time ago, my desktop install of Debian GNU/kFreeBSD that works fine with the -7 kernel just won't load the rootfs when started with a -8 kernel (some screenshots at [0]). That's a secondary IDE drive[1] where the freebsd root partition is placed at ad1s11. I can mount that rootfs fine from a mini.iso (pre 8 times, will try tomorrow a newer one). Getting past the kernel prompt is possible by using ufs:ufsid/$something but that'll still fail later on with a mount: Illegal arguments (screenshots follow tomorrow at the same place). I tried a freebsd 8 livefs stuff which detects the partition correctly but which I couldn't bring to mount it (I couldn't mount it directly in the installer busybox but only did so modifying fstab + mount -a). Besides me delivering a full error message of the freebsd mount tries anything I can try? I'm already loading the geom modules trough grub (I hope!).
