Upon reboot after my first install this message. Any help? This is the full console message: *Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle *Changing root device to da1s2a *changing root device to da1a *error 6: panic: can not mount root (2) My setup is IDE & SCSI disks. The IDE is the primary DOS boot and can not spare the space ;-). The second disk is the SCSI disk, where my FreeBSD 3.2 partition resides. With help from the FAQ & maillists it seems as though the 'boot blocks' point to the right place to begin probing for devices. Which it does fairly smoothly. I liked how easy it was to select devices during install. Then the kernel points to the wrong place to mount \. SCSI Disk Name da0 da0s1 FAT partition da0s2 FreeBSD partition da0s2a is \ I tried 0:da(2a) Kernel at boot prompt. No luck. But I am not sure if I totally know which prompt I should be at. What am I missing? Thanks for any help! To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
