  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.
