Greetings:
	I successfully installed FreeBSD on one of my HD's, but when it
boots it panics becuase it cannot find the root partition.  Here is my
setup:
	on IDE Port 0: Master IDE Drive (WD), Slave IDE CDROM
	on IDE Port 1: IDE Drive (WD) with FreeBSD on it
The system reports the BSD Drive as wd2 (Which it is).  I have tried
placing these parameters at boot time: wd(2,a)kernel
I know it can reasd the drive, as the boot can read the root partition,
and it runs all the setup config programs, it just does not boot the root
partition.
Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Please CC a response to chad@pobox.com or I may not get it!
Thanks for your time.

-Chad
