I created the floppy disks and started the virtual machine. The kernel starts loading and (i think everything is OK with the devices) as soon as it tries to mount root, it panics saying: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0 exec /sbin/init: error 5 exec /sbin/oinit: error 5 panic: vrele: negative ref cnt cpuid: 0 it then syncs disk and flies off to Unix heaven. any thoughs?
