Hello,  

Last night I installed v2.2.1 from ftp.freebsd.org and everything went really 
smoothly.  The problem is that I have to tell FBSD where to go when it tries 
to boot or it panics when trying to mount root.  Here is my setup:

Adaptec 2940UW

IBM 2gig SCSI-2 HD, ID 0 (Device 81h)
  sd0s1  450m  FAT   (BANDIA_WORK)
  sd0s2e 200m  UFS   /var
  sd0s2f 1.4g  UFS   /usr

Quantum 1gig SCSI-2 (Wide?), ID 12 (Boot Device 80h)
  sd1s1  450m  FAT   (BANDIA_BOOT) DOS v6.22 and NT v4
  sd2s2b 469m  swap  swap
  sd1s2a 150m  UFS   /

When it boots (Either when I use fdisk to make the partition active or using 
the NTv4 boot manager) it finds the boot, starts and boots from:
0:sd(0,a)/kernel
It works fine until it tries to mount root, then it panics.  If I use the boot 
option to specify where to boot from and change it to:
0:sd(1,a)/kernel
Evrything works fine, I have tried to make the kernel with sd0 and sd1 and I 
still have this problem.  What can I do?
