Hi,

Still having troubling getting FreeBSD to boot properly.  My thanks to Paul
Root, Nadav Eiron, and Andrew for their suggestions.  Although it gave an error,
the tip of using 1:wd(2,a) at the boot prompt did get the system booted.  I
proceeded to follow another suggestion and rebuilt the kernel, changing the line
to 'config kernel root on wd2'.  However, the system still panics and says it
can't mount the root.  Again, 1:wd(2,a) is the only way I can get a successful
boot.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks

Clayton Carney
