Unfortunately, booting from either a CD or boot floppies, after probing the ppi0(or maybe plip0) device, the system spontaniously reboots (and I can't easily read the last few message lines). I then went into the /snap/release area and starting re-running the release.8 target while removing devices from the GENERIC config file used for the boot floppies. I finally got it down to the point where I get the following: error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2) syncing disks... done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds... etc, etc, etc So, I'll continue to see if I can narrow down the problem, but it looks like we have a problem mounting an MFSROOT root partition which the boot/install system requires. Comments & critiques are welcome! Thanks! -John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
