Hello all.

I hope I have the correct post and I apologize if I don't. Here the
challenge.

I am using 2.2.8-Stable. I have a PII 350, 196mb ram, 3Com 3C90x NIC,
basic PIIBX mb, ATI Rage Pro AGP 2X, 16bit SB. One hd 4.3 gb has 2 parts
both NTFS, second hd 3.2gb created 3gb part for FBSD.

Used the floppy and ran the install using FTP. Everything seemed to go
very well. Installed booteasy on both drives. Everything looked normal
till I tried to restart and the system panic'ed and said it couldn't
mount root "/". I tried the installation twice and received the same
result.

I looked through the Handbook and the Errata. Also, looked through the
FAQ's. Nothing even remotely resembled the issue I am having. Did I miss
a DOC somewhere? Did I not look hard enough in the FAQ's? I can say that
the Handbook was useless for this situation.

Please help. I am a hardcore newbie and tried to follow the instructions
to the letter. Any ideas would be appreciated. And yes you can even
laugh at me if you like. ;-)

It is, in fact, how you have lived, that will make the difference.
