My PC has two hard disks, both installed as master drives. After =
installing from CD-ROM, rebooting and choosing FreeBSD from boot =
manager, it starts the boot process until it reaches the part that says:

changing root device to wd1s1a
changing root device to wd1a
error 6: panic: cannot mount(2)

It automatically reboots in 15 seconds. Then upon reboot, I press any =
key immediately to get to the prompt and type in

disk2s1a:> boot 1:wd(2,a)kernel

I get this

Cannot find '1:wd(2,a)kernel'

This is different from what the manual describes. "error 6: panic: =
cannot mount(2)" and "disk2s1a" seems different. What's wrong?
