hello, i recently installed you most current release version of freebsd over the internet (i have a cable modem). i am running it off of a seagate 1 gb scsi hard drive which microsoft used to think was my d drive. when ever i boot up it says that it can't move root to something or other and restarts itself in 15 secs. i am using a cyrix 6x86 p166+ processor on a supermicro p5ste motherboard. i have used prev vers of freebsd and the 3.x snapshots and they worked fine. i was wondering if you could help me. as a side note for when it starts working i have a cable modem, but the service does not give me a static ip address, i get a new one every 24 hrs. i am connected to my cable modem with a 3com etherlink iii isa card. i was wondering if i would be able to use my network connection from within freebsd without having to go into windows to check what my current ip address is. and as a further side note, will there be support for fat32 anytime soon? thank you for your help, and for your great operating system doug jacobsenhome | help
