I have recently installed a 2nd hard drve, which is dedicated to FreeBSD.
The old hard drive is Master on IDE drive 1; the cdrom is slave on the 1st
IDE drive. The new hard drive is jumpered as "single" on the 2nd IDE drive.
I can now install from the CD-ROM, and in fact have. I am using LILO to
boot to Linux and DOS on hard drive 1, and it it is succesful.
What I can not do is boot to FreeBSD.
Using LILO as my boot manager, I key in "bsd" at boot time, and the FreeBSD
boot process begins. Then after a few minutes I receive this message:
panic: cannot mount root
and then it automatically reboots.
Root is the first partition after the MBR. How can I take the next step and
get FreeBSD to completely boot?
Thank you, all.
Chris Booth
