[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello, I'm very green so please bear with me. I have just installed FreeBSD on my MS Based system, I used the FIPS utility to reslice my HDD. Everything seems to have worked fine with that, and the install process seems to have completed properly but when i try to boot i get: Error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2) I'm using version 3.3, in the book on page 102 i found a command @ the disk1s1a:> boot 1:wd(2,a)kernel When i try that command i get the message kernel already loaded. I have only 1 IDE Device (except the cd-rom) the are on seperate IDE addresses. Again, I'm freshly new @ this and would epreciate any help with i can get. Respectfully, Peter Smith [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2614.3500" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello, I'm very green so please bear with me.</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just installed FreeBSD on my MS Based system, I used the FIPS utility to reslice my HDD.
