The title of those = CDs is "Free BSD 2.2.6, A full 4.4 BSD Lite Based 32 bit Operating = system' from Walnut Greek CDROM. I installed it to a Pentium PC with = 32MB ram + a PCI network card + PCI VGA card. In the same PC, I have = installed Linux, QNX, and Windows NT/98/95 as well successfully, but I = could not install Free BSD successfully. I have tried to install Free = BSD both on a partition with ms-dos at another partition and on a blank = harddisk. The problem appears the same. I followed the installation instructions to install Free BSD from a IDE = CD-ROM drive. Everything seemed to be okay during installation, but = after re-boot the machine, the error message 'panic: cannot mount root' = came out and the system kept rebooting every 15 seconds. I am quite sure = that I do nothing wrongly to mount the root in fdisk utility. I would = appreciate any help on this. I also found that there were no source codes at /usr/src/sys directory = under disc #2. I think that it should be there because this disc is = included the uncompressed files. Not sure if there are anything wrong = with the CDs. I wish to have a quick response because we need to have = BSD up for some projects. Thanks. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
