Hello All,

Help!

36 hours ago I purchased the 4 CD/ROM = freeBSD 3.1=20 w/book. I have spent the last 20 hours trying to get the system to = reboot=20 properly...err! I keep getting an "kernel panic" just after = "syncing=20 disks" when trying to load drive 1 "wd0s1a.

I have evil WinNT-4.0 on drive 1 = & =20 freeBSD on drive 2. AMD-mmx 200, 64MB RAM, Asus MB, 13.1GB = HD-NT4.0=20 Server, 3.1GB HD FreeBSD, 3Com-905 NIC...

I removed Linux from drive 2 and = installed freeBSD=20 there. everything was going GREAT with the Linux / NT combo...I = just=20 wanted to upgrade to FreeBSD.

I have tried every booting sequence = combination=20 available...but yours...!

I have re-partitioned every combination = I could=20 fathom....removed and added MBR and all that good stuff!!!

No matter what combination I still can't get any FreeBSD boot = loader to=20 become active. I have to force the BIOS to load only from drive 2=20 "D". Then FreeBSD loads...gets to the syncing disks...looks for = drive "0"=20 and crashes on the spot!...error prompt say it will now reboot in a few=20 seconds...and it does...over and over and over.

I am on my 14th repartition and reload of FreeBSD. I have = tried the=20 "Live File System" but that too is a waste of time.

I have even tried using the "NT 4.0 Loader" to select FreeBSD from=20 that...NT is stupid and says it does not allow this even though the = arrangement=20 is correct.

PLEASE help...I'm running out of patience.

JR
