Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have 2 IDE drives... and a IDE CDROM. The first drive and the cd rom are connected to the first IDE connector and the second drive is in the second IDE connector... I have win95 and winNt installed in the first drive.. (FAT partitions) I installed FreeBSD in the second drive which is the secondary master. When I installed FreeBSD with the boot easy boot manager... I am not able to boot the Freebsd .. I get an error panic: "unable to mount root" and goes to reboot. I am not sure how to fix this... Also, my Win95 and windowsNT seems tohave been screwed up now. I cannot boot them anymore. WHen I check the disk partition, it is no longer DOS partitions for Win95 and WinNT .. IT says something like "Non-dos" partition... I guess something is screwed up big time... Can I recover from this ...
