Ok. So. Early in the morning I got the new 3.1 release - put it on CD-ROM/bootable and tried to upgrade a system (first try was over NFS). The good news are I completely discarded my old FreeBSD version, so a clean new installation. Everything worked fine, but in the end I can't boot FreeBSD. This try was on a IDE Harddisk two partitions: 1 - NT 2 - FreeBSD. This worked so far very nice - but now no way it keeps complaining about a missing kernel - sounds really weird. I just then started to get the next system down. This time SCSI (boot preference is SCSI - IDE )!! After installing from the bootable CD I managed to boot FreeBSD, but it fails with panic - cannot mount root. Seems that the new installation process (bootloader) gives me some problems. We have here 5-6 servers and workstations running under FreeBSD and I appreciated the simple installation procedure. May be I missed something in the docs? Anybody help!?
