Hi Aaron,

 Thanks to point out this with reply quickly.
 No offence I could not imagined that "da8" was hard-coded in an installer.

 Anyway now I can stop worry about if I made a mistake by setting.

 I am a dfly-user just started and no programing skills.(sry!)
 But I will try to check and report when installer are modified this.

</span>Hi Yukimi,<br>
<br>
I think this is a bug/restriction with the DFly release/image build or boot \
procedure.<br> <br>
Currently, the release/snapshot images are built with the installation USB stick \
default/fixed to &quot;da8&quot; [1], and it is therefore set to mount root from \
&quot;da8s2a&quot;.<br> <br>
Therefore should be a method to determine the actually device name (e.g., \
&quot;da9&quot; here) of the installation USB stick, and make DFly mount root from \
there accordingly.   Maybe the &quot;initrd&quot; image be the good/right place to \
implement this feature?<br> <br>
