Re: Jornada 680 asks for "root device"

Retried everything using the current snapshot with the same result. 
Kernel acts as if it doesn't find wd0.

I noticed that if I "sh MAKEDEV all" in the mounted CF partition, 
afterwards I can only unmount using "umount -f". All of the node seem 
to be created properly, though, so I'm at a loss to explain this, and 
I don't know what could be causing the problem.

Could the version hpcboot matter. I notice the version I am using 
defaults to using hpnetbsd.gz, while I am using an unzipped kernel.

I'd appreciate any help for how to troubleshoot this problem.

This is the fdisk for the CF card:
