He has : 1 hd master (A) + 1 cdrom slave on primary ch. 1 hd master (B) + 1 zip atapi slave on secundary ch. on (A) there is a primary win98 partition. on (B) there is a fat partition on wd2s1 and a freebsd installation on wd2s2a. The installation procedure was fine, but at the next reboot it can't mount the root fs because it tries to mount / on wd1s2a even if in /etc/fstab there is wd2s2a ! I think it is a problem related to the fact that the cdrom make confusion on the routine that have to find the hd & slice number... everything was fine after adding a boot config with 1:wd(2,a)kernel Is it a known problem or I miss something ?
