hello
i had been trying to install the freebsd 2.1.0
and i an facing some annoying fenomina.
i chose the novice installation, followed all the help guieds and finally
got 'you have successfu......press <enter> to reboot'
i thought it was the end of the installation, but when rebooting
the kernel loads up and i get a msg. saing "panic: canot mount root .!"
"system will reboot in ..."
well i tryd repartitioning the disk and reinstalling from scratch...but
got the same old msg. again.
well .... what should i do ?? i am almost ready to give up and install
red-hat linux...
my machine is :
1. intel p-100-s.
2. tryton III mother-board.
3. 16 MB of EDO ram memory.
4. SCSI (IDE based) supported cd-r.
5. HDD :
1. 850 IDE primary master.
2. 120 IDE primary slave.
3. 730 IDE secondary master.
the HDD with i am tring to install upon is a 730 MB in size and it is all
dedicated to the FreeBSD system. (does not have any DOS partition).
if you need any more setales pls. let me know and i will be more that
happy to give it to you.

internet hours searching the FAQ with no success.
