I've recently installed version 2.2.5 onto my system, setting it up as the manual says. Everything goes fine until I reboot the system after the CD installation. I get the error message: "/dev/wd0s1a on /: Specified device does not match mounted device Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:" I also noticed another strange output: "swapon: adding /dev/wd0s1b as swap device Automatic reboot in progress...." I was able to manually mount /usr and /var but still received the error. I would really appreciate any assistance. Thanks ahead of time, J.
