Hi,

I have a problem with the new /boot/loader. My Disk-setup may be a bit
unusual, though.

I have 2 scsi-disks and one ide disk. Setup as follows:

Bios Drive no.| Type | Content
0             | SCSI | Windows
1             | SCSI | (mixed)
2             | IDE  | FreeBSD

When I currently boot, i get BootEasy from Drive 0, where i press F3 for
disk 2. There i get the old FreeBSD-loader on which i boot with:

2:wd(0,a)/kernel

which works like a charm so far.

Now, if I boot 2:wd(0,a)/boot/loader I get to the new loder.

Here i do:

set currdev=disk3s1a:
load /kernel
boot 

which boots the kernel, and panics with 'cannot mount root'.

What else do I have to change ?

CU,
    Sec
