[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello All, Help! 36 hours ago I purchased the 4 CD/ROM freeBSD 3.1 w/book. 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.
