Subject:   custom kernel won't boot
Message-ID:  <20000619141348.56779.qmail@hotmail.com>

I just built and installed a custom kernel for the first time, but it won't 
boot and I can't boot the old kernel either.  I type "boot kernel.old" at 
the boot loader and it can't find the root partition.  It says there's no 
device ad.

What gives?  Why can't it find my root partition?  I figured I didn't add 
support for my IDE controller in my kernel config file, but I thought I did.

Any ideas?
