Hello, This situation is driving me crazy. I have tried to install FreeBSD on my system several times. I have tried with 2.2.6 and with 3.0. Problem: Install completes successfully. When I try to boot the system for the first time, the kernel starts and goes through the device checks. Then I get the message: kernel panic: unable to mount root (2) The lines just preceding this error are: changing root to wd0s1a changing root to wd0a I may not have this info exactly correct as I am now at work and the system is at home. I have tried install disks from 2.2.6, 3.0.release and the latest 3.0 snap. Here is my configuration: Pentium 166 48MB of ram Ne2000 network card at 300H, irq 11 2.5gb ide segate hard drive. I have tried using the entire drive for freebsd in case it might be a drive geometry problem, but no change. Help!!!!!
