Pitman" X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (WinNT; I) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Another "cant mount root" problem (SCSI) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I am able to install FreeBSD 2.2.7 successfully, however when I reboot, I get the "panic: cant mount root" error. I am using a single SCSI HD on an NCR53c810 PCI controller. I have noticed that when the systems boots, the kernel does not probe or detect any of the PCI devices. The boot floppy probes the PCI devices fine (I guess that's pretty obvious, since it installed). Anybody know what I can do to fix this? I'm new to FreeBSD (I've been using Linux, HP-UX, AIX for 3 years or so though, so I'm not a complete *NIX newbie), so I am anxious to get it up and running and learn all about the wonders of FreeBSD.
