After installing 2.2-GAMMA the 2-5-97 snapshot I tried to boot from the floppy BOOT: prompt with wd(1,a)/kernel. It seemed to find the kernel okay and went through the probe then had the panic after a message about switching root to wd1a. My setup is an AST Advantage 824 with an added MAXTOR 3.5GB hd in case anyones familiar with that, spelled out it is: CPU: pentium 133 IDE controller 1 master: IBM DJAA-31700 1700MB this has WIN95 on it IDE controller 1 slave: Toshiba XM5522B CD-ROM IDE controller 2 master: MAXTOR 83500AB 3.5GB this has a 121MB WIN95 partition and the rest is FREEBSD The IDE controllers are built into the motherboard I don't know what type it is. The probe is reporting the correct geometry for the hard drives. Thanks for your time, Brian Haskin <bhaskin@juno.com>
