I'm running Win95 on drive 1, an IDE. I'm installing 2.1.5 freebsd on drive 2, SCSI ST2550W. After countless failed attempts at mathematical geometry using 7.844238 as the dividing rule for the partition (M), and failure at fooling even my computer into thinking that it has a small MS-DOS partition at the beginning, (in hopes of the geometry becoming detected), I've decided to exclusively install freebsd to drive 2 without sharing any other operating systems. The bootmngr installs to drive 2, remnants remnants of booteasy remain on drive 1, (cool), I think, for now I can actually use drive 2, but, alas, the boot procedure for drive 2 brings me to the dreaded "can't mount root" panic msg. Why? I gave up on geometry and chose exclusive use of drive 2 for freebsd.
