I have a PII 350, 196mb ram, 3Com 3C90x NIC, :basic PIIBX mb, ATI Rage Pro AGP 2X, 16bit SB. One hd 4.3 gb has 2 parts :both NTFS, second hd 3.2gb created 3gb part for FBSD. : :Used the floppy and ran the install using FTP. Everything seemed to go :very well. Installed booteasy on both drives. Everything looked normal :till I tried to restart and the system panic'ed and said it couldn't :mount root "/". I tried the installation twice and received the same :result. Been there. Done that. Assuming that FreeBSD is installed on the first partition of the second HDD, you'll need to enter this (1) at the boot prompt (2) in the /boot.config. 1:wd(1,a)kernel This also makes the assumption that you're using IDE drives.
