RE: [gentoo-user] ... fails to open device '/dev/hda2' after update

[Daevid Vincent]

I had the same thing happen on Friday on a VMWare I use for LAMP
development.

Just "Control D" to continue. Your drives should mount as normal. If you
have a stock system, /dev/hda3 is where your goods are. Hda1 is just /boot
and hda2 is swap, so don't worry about the error.

Follow these instructions:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
Or
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Migrate_to_UDEV
Or
http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html

It's pretty painless really.
