I am having some serious problems getting my system to boot up in FreeBSD
version 2.2.1 or 2.2.5.  I have tried installing both versions and I get
the same result.  After going through almost the entire boot process, I get
a panic:cannot mount root error.  Could somebody please shed some light on
how to get around this issue or how to resolve the problem.  

Thanks in advance
