I just did a bin install of 3.1,
everything went well during the install over ftp
but i cant mount root now.

system:

apollo mvp3 VIA chipset
primary master 5 gig maxtor
secondary master 5 gig maxtor
1st scsi drive 4.3 gig quantum sca.
scsi controller adaptec 2940AU @ 20Mhz.

trying to mount the scsi drive.

during boot i get

changing root to da2s1a
da0 at ahc0 bus0 target 0 lun 0
{disk geometry here}
changing root device to da2a

error 6 cannot mount root

press any key to reboot

i tried typing in 2:da(1,a) at the boot prompt
but it still insists on changing the root device
to da2a.

what am i doing wrong?
