Hi: I've just installed FreeBSD on my P133 system w/48MB RAM. I have one 2.5GB EIDE HD, which I made totally dedicated to FreeBSD. In the FAQ, it said that my BIOS might go crazy, however, that didn't happen(that's good). What did happen though, is I got a message: "panic: cannot mount root." I've searched through the mailing list archives, and it seems that everyone has a SCSI. I know that my BIOS doesn't go wacko when I do that because I've done it for years with an old BSDi system. Technical stuff: Error message: fd0: 1.44MB 3.5 in ... ... ? Intel Pentium F00F detected, installing workaround ? ->! panic: cannot mount root !<- System configuration: P133 48MB EDO Seagate 2.5GB EIDE NE2000 NIC (ISA) video card (PCI) 4x CD 2.5in floppy Hard drive: no partitions, drive is fully dedicated to FreeBSD: (in install, I push "A" in fdisk, then chose "NO" Size Type Mounted on 256MB UFS "/" 1GB UFS "/home" 512MB UFS "/var" 576MB UFS "/usr" 95MB SWAP N/A Please send response to dima@zwb.net!
