Hello, My customer # is 353174. I have two disks on my machine. Both EIDE. The first drive hd0 has Windows NT loaded on it using NTFS file system. This is a 1.7G drive. My second drive is 3.8G and I loaded FreeBSD on it. When I installed the boot manager, it correctly boots Windows NT when I select it, but when it tries to boot FreeBSD, it comes up with a message - "panic - cannot mount root - changing root device to wd1a ". I tried using the G command to specify the correct geometry of the drive. It understood it during the install, but it does not help in getting the system to boot. Please let me know what I should do to get this system to boot FreeBSD? Thanks for your help. -- ============================================================= Srinivasan Iyengar S3 Inc. 2801 Mission College Blvd. Voice (408)588-8643 P.O.
