There are one IDE HD and 2 SCSI HDs in my computer , my FreeBSD was install on the SCSI HD. The situation now is everytime I boot my FreeBSD, it will automatically find the root partition on wd0 but not sd0. Then it cause the kernel panic and require reboot. But I do configure it when I compile kernel. What is do now is give it "hd(1,a)/kernel" every time I reboot. That means I can not reboot my machine remotely. Would someone please tell me what can I do to "pass some parameter" to the boot program so that it will find the right partition every time when reboot. Thanks for your concerning. Jason Chang
