I thought I could get through an initial install. I'm putting FreeBSD on a "dummy" machine (Pentium 66 16mb 1gb) to test some things. Any three of the installs goes through fine. I try to boot and it gives me something like this; ERROR: Panic: Cannot mount root (6) Syncing disks... done And then it forces a reboot. It keeps on doing this. The hard drive seems fine and I cleared the kernel of anything that wasn't physically there. Someone help... any suggestions? Reinstall? With what options/configurations? Thanks in advance, Ryan M.
