The installation has gone fine but when I try to boot the system I get a panic that it can't mount root. Is this symptomatic of not having the root parition below the 1024th cylinder? The hard disk is a Seagate 9.1GB Ultra2Wide. The Parition edit says the drive has 1100 odd cylinders. My FreeBSD patition is the 3rd partition on the drive with the first 2 partitions taking up 4032Mb.
