Hm, ok. Having both a SCSI and IDE disk is going to confuse things. > I seems to run through the hardware probing and setting up until it > gets to: > > "transfering system to sd1a > panic: can't mount root! You have two SCSI disks? If not, then you need to watch the boot-time probes and rearrange your SCSI IDs so that the disk that FreeBSD is booting from comes up as sd0. > The root is designated in the label editor as mounted on device 'sd0s1a'. Hm, that is a problem. You will want to rebuild the kernel and wire down your device-SCSI ID associations. Istructions for doing this is in the LINT configuration file.
