one of my bsd systems has an ide and a scsi disk.
scsi drive is the designated bsd disk.
Installation from the walnut creek 2.1.5 cdrom would
go ok but when the system reboots after installation,
kernel would panic as it tries to mount root to
wd0s1.

only way i can get around this problem is to compile
a kernel on another system with "root sd0" in the
config file.  and boot the ide/scsi system with
new kernel.

is there any other way to get around this problem?

thanks in advance.
