Greetings,
I'm here because I'm experiencing installation problems with my FreeBSD =
2.2.8. Would you be kind enough to listen to my problem and maybe give =
a few suggestions on what I might be doing wrong.
I've got 6.4GB Western Digital as my Primary HD and channel 1. On =
channel 2 I also have a 3.2GB Western Digital. I've installed 2.2.8 on =
3.2GB drive(used all of it). =20
These are my setting for wd2:
Part Mount Size =20
-----------------------------------------
wd2s1a / 100MB
wd2s1b swap 150MB =20
wd2s1e /var 100MB
wd2s1f /usr 2670MB
I've installed everything... When I reboot, BootMgr asks me which drive =
I would like to boot from, I choose F5(second drive), then F1 for =
FreeBSD. Every device I configured is detected properly.(To my =
knowledge) And then at the end I get this message: =20
Changing root device to wd1s1a
panic: cannot mount root
syncing disks...done
press any key to reboot.
So I booted back from a flooppy and went to install menu, under label =
all my FreeBSD partition have no mount point. =20
Part Mount Size =20
-----------------------------------------
wd2s1a <none> 100MB
wd2s1b swap 150MB =20
wd2s1e <none> 100MB
wd2s1f <none> 2670MB
I tried reassigning mount points, same problem...
What's odd, is the system is changing root device to wd1s, I only have =
wd0(WIN98) and wd2(FreeBSD). Would anyone like to share so of your =
ideas with me. I'm new at this, and have very little clue of what I did =
wrong. Although, I had great success installing it on my 386-40, with =
just one Hard Drive. I just didn't have the patience, so I put the HD =
into my 6x86. I would greatly appreciate any help that you would =
provide.
Thank you for your time and effort for reading my e-mail
