Chris,

Is the root on sd0 (target 0)?  I had a problem a few months ago booting FreeBSD
when the root was on sd1 (target 1).   The panic I got was "cannot mount root"
or something.   To get to work, I had to remove the primary drive (target 0),
build a kernel that hardcoded sd0 to be target 1 and sd1 to 0, then reinstalling
the primary drive.  I still run this way today.

Check out bug kern/6505 for details.   A search in -current and/or -bugs
for "cannot mount root" or "zeilenga" would probably locate my postings.

Regards, Kurt
