Dear Tech Supporter,
  
   I'm trying to install the version of FreeBSD 2.1 on my Pentium machine
on the second IDE drive, and encounter the problem or message of "mounting
to wd1a " Failed!  and system reboot.  My first drive is also an IDE which
has Win95 in it.  And my second drive is wholly format for FreeBSD.
I also tried to install both boot manager on both drive and still fail.
Installing on the first drive seem to boot ok, but I would like it on
the second drive.  I chose option number 1) in the setup for boot manager.

Any idea what happen or what is needed to be done, can a 2.1 boot on
IDE on second drive?

Thanks
-Sann
