When the system booted it reported a "panic: cant mount root" error. I tried the recommended command in instruction 1 and it did not work. I posted this on one of the FreeBSD newgroups and got a sucessfuly reply. First: using 1:wd(2,a)kernel worked as opposed to 1:wd(2,a) /kernel which is in the FAQ. Second: echo "1:wd(2,a)kernel" > /boot.config works as tested on my machine. I don't know if changing this will affect earlier versions FreeBSD, I don't have any earlier versions on which to test it with. Anyway keep up the good work it si appreciated.
