Cc: bugs@FreeBSD.org, pedrosal@nce.ufrj.br, questions@FreeBSD.org Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear Mrs/Sirs: I tried several times to install BSD 2.0.5, but always had the same problem: I am using the fourth "slice" of my SCSI hard disk, "sd0s4" for BSD, but when I boot it, comes the message "changing root device to sd2a" and PANIC! The SCSI id of the disk is 0 and the id of the CD-ROM is 2. So, what does mean "sd2a" mean? Is it the second slice of the disk or the CD-ROM? Can you help me? Thank you, Pedro Salenbauch (pedrosal@nce.ufrj.br)
