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