AP and boot disks
Q: I have set up AP as per the normal configuration but I keep getting errors when I try to reboot. I even put a rootdev line in /etc/system but then the next reboot crashed completely.
A: The most likely solution is that you forgot to run apboot on your boot disk. Running apboot would have updated the kernel with a whole bunch of other key lines:
* Begin AP root info (do not edit)
forceload: drv/ssd
forceload: drv/sf
forceload: drv/socal
forceload: drv/sbus
forceload: drv/ap_dmd
forceload: drv/ap
forceload: drv/pseudo
rootdev: /pseudo/ap_dmd@0:8,blk
* End AP root info (do not edit)
Without those lines, the kernel cannot mount the root filesystem....
Thanks to AD, DG, JT, TH for solving this one.
