I have spent = the last 20 hours trying to get the system to reboot properly...err! I = keep getting an "kernel panic" just after "syncing disks" when trying to = load drive 1 "wd0s1a. I have evil WinNT-4.0 on drive 1 & freeBSD on drive 2. AMD-mmx 200, = 64MB RAM, Asus MB, 13.1GB HD-NT4.0 Server, 3.1GB HD FreeBSD, 3Com-905 = NIC... I removed Linux from drive 2 and installed freeBSD there. everything = was going GREAT with the Linux / NT combo...I just wanted to upgrade to = FreeBSD. I have tried every booting sequence combination available...but = yours...! I have re-partitioned every combination I could fathom....removed and = added MBR and all that good stuff!!! No matter what combination I still can't get any FreeBSD boot loader to = become active. I have to force the BIOS to load only from drive 2 "D". = Then FreeBSD loads...gets to the syncing disks...looks for drive "0" and = crashes on the spot!...error prompt say it will now reboot in a few = seconds...and it does...over and over and over. I am on my 14th repartition and reload of FreeBSD. I have tried the = "Live File System" but that too is a waste of time. I have even tried using the "NT 4.0 Loader" to select FreeBSD from = that...NT is stupid and says it does not allow this even though the = arrangement is correct. PLEASE help...I'm running out of patience.
