Why are you installing from one USB stick to another?  The original image is bootable.  You can copy the initial image onto both.  I realize that&#39;s not the original task you were trying to do, but it would have less problems.<br>

New submission from Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado &lt;<a href="mailto:iam@juanfra.info">iam@juanfra.info</a>&gt;:<br>
<br>
Steps for reproduce:<br>
- Download the last usb image from the mirrors.<br>
- dd to your usb stick.<br>
- Power off your computer.<br>
- Conect two usb sticks to your computer. The first with the installer of<br>
DragonFly. The seconds will be the destination of your installation.<br>
- Boot the installer.<br>
- Install DragonFly in your second usb stick. Use all the disk and hammer.<br>
- Power off your computer.<br>
- Disconnect the first usb stick.<br>
- Power on your computer.<br>
- Boot your usb stick.<br>
- DragonFly doesn&#39;t find your root partition.<br>
<br>
The old (usb) disk &quot;da9x&quot; is &quot;da8x&quot; now. Here exists two problems:<br>
- In /etc/fstab the partitions point to &quot;da9x&quot;.<br>
- The same for /boot/loader.conf.<br>
<br>
The installation in usb disks is useless. With this problem the user can&#39;t use<br>
his or her usb disk in other computers with other order of usb disks. Also this<br>
is very bad for IT departments.<br>
<br>
I think the better solution is the support for UUID.<br>
<br>
<br>
The same problem for other user:<br>
