Ok, this is right cheesing me off... I've gone though the install process about six times and mymacine keeps giving me a "panic: cannot mount root". Now, either I'm doing something wrong when I setup the disk, or there's something funky with my hardware. I'm thinking its hardware because I can't get WindowsNT to setup without giving me a STOP error on loading the NT Executive (but I'm not terribly interested in NT, so it can wait.. :) ) I can only guess its one of two things: 1. I have an Adapter 1542, with two HDs attached to it. SCSI 0 contains my failsafe Windows startup. SCSI 1 is partitioned, half DOS, half BSD. To boot the drive with BSD, I enter the 1542's BIOS, and tell it to ingore SCSI 0 in the startup device scan. Perhaps this isn't a nice thing to do? 2. I have a gremlin in my computer. --Dennis <mailto://scqdaf@globalserve.net> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
