Hello,

I've setup a new r342378 (December 23) for amd64 onto an external disk
with this procedure:

# grep da0 /var/log/messages

# cat > /mnt/etc/fstab  <<EOF

/dev/gpt/extswap none swap sw 0 0
EOF

# chroot /mnt passwd root
Changing local password for root
New Password:

# umount /mnt

The disk now boots sometimes fine, more times it fails with:

Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/gpt/extroot [rw, noatime]...
Mounting from ufs:/dev/gpt/extroot failed with error 2; retrying fpr 3 seconds
Mounting from ufs:/dev/gpt/extroot failed with error 2; retrying fpr 2 seconds
Mounting from ufs:/dev/gpt/extroot failed with error 2; retrying fpr 1 seconds
...

I can provide a 'dmesg' output from an successful boot, if this helps.

Any hints? Thanks
