[-- Attachment #1 --] My PC has two hard disks, both installed as master drives. After installing from CD-ROM, rebooting and choosing FreeBSD from boot manager, it starts the boot process until it reaches the part that says: changing root device to wd1s1a changing root device to wd1a error 6: panic: cannot mount(2) It automatically reboots in 15 seconds. Then upon reboot, I press any key immediately to get to the prompt and type in disk2s1a:> boot 1:wd(2,a)kernel I get this Cannot find '1:wd(2,a)kernel' This is different from what the manual describes. "error 6: panic: cannot mount(2)" and "disk2s1a" seems different. What's wrong?
