I now also notice after looking at several boot sequences that the first seems always to be an attempt to access nbd60, sector 0 (but the sector 0 may be a red herring). I suspect something is trying to acccess block device 43,60 hoping to find something other than a non-existent nbd device). -- Peri Ian Pratt wrote: >>I'm not aware of anything that is trying to use NBD - I did experiment a >>bit a while back, but didn't get anywhere.
