Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. I have been trying to install FreeBSD on the secondary master HDD in my computer. The boot loader is also working from the second HDD. The Kernal appears to get loaded, it gets to the end of the load and says, panic, can't mount root. Using the fixit floppy I am able to mount the root partition and see all the files.. All looks fine. Looking at fstab the partition labels look fine. Just to be on the safe side I have gone and changed the root partition to /dev/wd just about everything. The labeling part of the install says root should be /dev/wd2s1a.. Tried it.. When I first looked at fstab it was set to /dev/wd2a. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Matthew Access One Help Desk The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled, was convincing the world that he did not exist. --Keiser Soze--
