Before getting an error and forcing a reboot. changing root device to wd0s1a changing root device to wd0a error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2) syncing disks... done rebooting in 15 seconds. Press a key to abort It does this every time... Is it talking about the root device or the root partition? Please help. It does this even when I try boot -s. The installation seems to go through pretty smoothly. Thanks, Ryan M.
