Greetings!
A pleasant day to you all. i'm pretty much new to freebsd, and i
am having a few problems with its installation. sirst, the setup:
i have two hard drives, w/ win95 & linux installed on it. the second
drive is dedicated to freebsd.
i installed via (bootable) CDROM, and went on with the
instalation without any problems. To enable multibooting
win95/linux/freebsd, i modified the lilo.conf and ran lilo again.
i was able to boot the freebsd partition, but the kernel seems to
look for the root partition on wd1s1a(in my case, tht should be
something like wd2a/wd2s1a, right?) more accurately, the message was
mounting root partition on wd1s1a....
:
kernel panic: cannot mount root
:
....automatic reboot in 15 seconds...
i browsed thru the handbook(under kernel config) and remade the
kernel with the 'config kernel root on wd2' option....i booted
linux again, ran lilo once/twice, same result.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
