Hi, there:

we have a FreeBSD 2.0.5 (Walnul Creek CDROM) and would like to install it on
a PC. Unfortunately, this PC does not have a CDROM driver, so we have to pull
a SCSI card and the CD driver from another machine and install them on to that
PC. Then we successfully installed the OS from the CD (we got the login:
progmt after rebooting.)

After that, we removed the SCSI card and the CD driver. However, when we tried 
to boot the PC again we got the following message:

.
.
.
swapon: adding /dev/wd0s1b as swap device
Automatic reboot in progress...
/dev/rwd0a: clean, 479015 free (151 frags, 59858 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation)
/dev/rwd0s1e: clean, 107095 free (13399 frags, 11712 blocks, 4.6%
fragmentation)     
cd9660: /dev/cd0a: Device not configured
Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted
Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:

#




And when we tried 'exit' command we got the same error message. We have to
execute 'shutdown' command to shut it down.

So what could we do now? Does that mean that we have to keep that SCSI and CD
driver for this PC?


Your help is highly appreciated!
