Move the hard disk that FreeBSD is installed on to the master position on your primary IDE controller (or equivalent so it boots properly). 2. Follow these instructions: If you get the message: panic: Cannot mount root At the end of the probe sequence you should either: 1. Have the line: config kernel root on wd2 in your kernel config, OR: 2. Rename the second disk to wd1 in the kernel config (comment out the original wd1 line and change the wd2 line to read wd1, leaving all other parameters unchanged).
