Mount Root Error (again)
-
So as with this thread http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,28264.0.html… i am getting a "Mount Root Error". First time user trying to install to my Proliant DL140 with Dual xeons. I put the latest memstick image to my usb using dd then boot to usb, select default, boot from usb and safe mode for testing and all result in the same thing. Safe mode even removes my use of my keyboard. Error reads as follows:
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/ufs/pfSense ROOT MOUNT ERROR: If you have invalid mount options, reboot, and first try the following from the loader prompt: set vfs.root.mountfrom.options=rw and then remove invalid mount options from /etc/fstab. Loader variables: vfs.root.mountfrom=ufs:/dev/ufs/pfSense vfs.root.mountfrom.options=ro Manual root filesystem specification: <fstype>: <device>Mount <device>using filesystem <fstype>eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a eg. cd9660:/dev/acd0 This is equivalent to: mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0 / ? List valid disk boot devices <empty line="">Abort manual input mountroot></empty></fstype></device></device></fstype>Im really confused about this and have been dealing with it for past few days. Previous thread i mentioned above method for solving does not work as safe mode removes my keyboard. (Also keyboard and monitor are ran through a KVM Switch, not sure if that gets disabled during safe boot cause it doesnt on other servers!)

I ditched the usb method and hooked up a external cd-rom drive. Pfsense is installed now.
