Hello ppl,

At the beginning of this week my 4 year old 340m IDE hard drive that I had
FreeBSD on gave up the ghost.  I was given an old file server and I
cannibalized it's 630m SCSI hard drive and Adaptec AHA-1542B host adapter.
This is the first SCSI stuff that I have ever installed on a system.  The
system that I put it into has a 1.6g IDE drive (primary master) with Win95.
The install went well and I used Win95 to format and check out the SCSI
drive.  The install of FreeBSD `dangerously dedicated' to the SCSI drive
seemed to go well.  But, after boot initializes everything I keep getting
this error message on the console;

panic! Cannot mount root!

Can anybody help?  Until I can resolve this issue, I have dedicated my 1.6g
IDE for FreeBSD but I really need to have a dedicated Win95 disk available
on this system.
