I have tried "config kernel root on sd0a. I previously had one drive with a Western Digital controller } which allowed me to boot with the FreeBSD on the second partition of wd0. Any advice would be appreciated. You will have to temporarily disconnect the IDE, boot the SCSI disk (which will then be sd0), and then configure a kernel with sd1 assigned to your SCSI drive bus and target ID in the kernel config file (in /sys/i386/conf/<MYNAME>): disk sd1 at scbus0 target 0 Then you have to change all references to sd0 in /etc/fstab into sd1. Once you installed the kernel, you can reenable the IDE drive and FreeBSD will do the right thing.
