I have a 2.1 system running on a disk partitioned with the root
partition set up for win95 and the second partition for freebsd.
If I boot win95 first, then do a soft reboot, I can boot freebsd
fine; but if I do a hard reboot (power cycle or reset), freebsd
starts the boot process (I get the first few devices identified),
but then I get a panic:
panic: cannot mount root
The system is a Micron P100 using a BusLogic BT946C scsi board
with a Conner 1 Gig drive. The disk was partitioned when freebsd
was installed, after consolidating existing win95 data.
fdisk shows the following:
******* Working on device /dev/rsd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1030 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1030 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl)
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 0 is:
sysid 6,(Primary 'big' DOS (> 32MB))
start 32, size 765920 (373 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 373/ sector 32/ head 63
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 765952, size 1343488 (656 Meg), flag 80
beg: cyl 374/ sector 1/ head 0;
end: cyl 1023/ sector 32/ head 63
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
Can anyone give me some clues as to why I can't hard boot
and possible scenarios to fix it?
