Hi! I have installed FreeBSD 2.2.1 on my secondary master hard disk. I have windows95b on as my primary master. I installed the boot manager and everything works correctly until I choose to boot on the disk with FreeBSD on it. Everything seems to load correctly until the end where I get these messages. Changing root device to wd1a panic cannot mount root syncing disks.....done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds -Press a key on the console to abort. It will do this every time. Now if I open my computer and switch the disks around to BSD as the primary master and the windows95 disk to the secondary master, BSD boots right to the Login. But it hangs when trying to boot windows95b. Any thoughts? -Gerry
