Hello,
I recently downloaded the 3.3 release and I am
unable to install it. I made it though
the config-menu process, but when the system boots it
is unable to mount the root
directory. the error message is:
changing root device to wd1s1a
changing root device to wd1a
error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2)
At this point the system stops and attempts to reboot.
- FreeBSD is installed on my second hard drive
(wd1)
- the disk geometries given in the freebsd boot
process match the geometries in the
BIOS menu.
- my second hard drive shares a FreeBSD, Linux,
and a dos partition.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Robert
