When it is finished with the initial |installation, it reboots, I select the partition to boot from, it asks |for the kernel, and I typy hd(1,a)/kernel, like I'm supposed to. Ok, |all this runs fine and dandy until almost the end, where it hits a |system panic and I have to reboot because it can't mount the root. Any |ideas? Use wd(1,a)/kernel or wd(0,a)/kernel instead of hd. I spent the better part of a weekend figuring that one out. Hopefully documentation will be a little clearer as this question comes up frequently. dave
