Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've added a second disk, wd2, where wd0 is my first hard disk and (I think ) wd1 is my ide cd rom ( on primary ide as a slave). The point is that in the label editor I get wd0 and wd2. OK. When I boot off the second drive (using the boot manager's F5 ) the boot program goes off looking for wd(1,a) , which I think is my CD, and then I get the PAnic, can't mount root thing. I've tried forcing wd(2,a) but I get a screenful of C's and 0's. Any ideas ? -- paul@nation-net.com Walsh Simmons 0161-839 9337 Manchester, UK
