Hello, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 on my PC. I have an Intel 90 MHz Plato motherboard running AMI BIOS Ver 1.0.10.AX1. The system has 16Meg main memory. A TEAC 4x CD-ROM running off a Sound Blaster 16 sound card. The video card is a #9 GXE-Pro with 2Meg VRAM. The system has both 1.44 and 1.2 floppy drives. No ethernet card is currently installed. I have two WD31000 hard drives. The first is devoted to DOS, and the second is for FREEBSD 2.0. I have the FREE BSD 2.0 CD-ROM which was published in DEC '94 from Walnut Creek CDROM. After running the install from the boot floppy to the hard disk. When I try to boot the system from the hard disk it dies with the error: PANIC: cannot mount root Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Tom Billman
