I reinstalled FreeBSD as of earlier advice, but I still have problems. This time, it locates the kernel and boots, but it's unable to locate the root file system. * "Boot default" is set to 1:wd(1,a)kernel * Booting fails with: "changing root device to wd1s3a panic: cannot mount root" The FreeBSD partition resides in what Linux calls /dev/hdc3 (third partition of secondary IDE master), and that partition is divided into a swap and root file system part for FreeBSD. I believe I put in the swap part first, followed by the root filesystem (I only created a root filesystem, not any /usr and similar). -- \\// Peter - http://nafmo.home.ml.org/ - ICQ UIN 762719 HTML is *not* a good idea in e-mail or news messages To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
