Hello, I am having problem boot fbsd from the 2nd partition of my first scsi disk. This is an 486 system with an IDE drive. the scsi disk is on an adaptec 2842, scsi id 4. I compiled the kernel with "root on sd0b", did a fbsdboot -rD c:\kernel, it went through and probed the scsi controller and disk, then it complained about not being able to mount root, then it panic. I am using FreeBSD-2.4-stable which I downloaded end of May. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? can I tell the kernel where the root disk is? how? also, when I compile the kernel without "controller eisa0" and "controller pci0", it does even look for 284x. why? Please help. I've been trying diff comb of kernel config and I've ran out of things to try. Thanks in advance! ping
