Using fully patched 8.04 on an AMD X4 Phenom (B3 stepping).
I'm trying to get FreeBSD 7 running as a guest in KVM. I am using virt-manager to provide the UI for this.
The install works fine. But when booting up the slice/partitions are not found. They are set in fstab as something like /dev/ad1s1a etc etc, but I need to manually mount them as /dev/ad0s1a etc. I do this to get access to /usr /var.
If I alter fstab to fit the ad0 numbering model (i.e. what worked for manual mounting) then reboot i can't find ANY slices/parttions. Not even to manually mount them.
Is this something others have experienced? Or can try and see if it is just me.
Also if anyone out there has a receipe for getting freebsd 7 installed and working under 8.04/KVM would be GREATLT appreciated.
Cheers.
