when I restart after installation I get
panic: cannot mount root
I've tried the fix outlined in the FreeBSD FAQ(2.24)
"To fix the problem, do one of the following:
1.At the Boot: prompt, enter 1:wd(2,a)/kernel and press Enter.
If the system starts, then run the command
echo "1:wd(2,a)/kernel" > /boot.config
to make it the default boot string.
2.Move the FreeBSD disk onto the primary IDE controller, so the hard
disks are
consecutive."
That did not work, I think because the drive I want to boot from is
already on the
primary IDE controller.
can someone help me out with this...
Thanks, John
