Disk 1 is Windows 95, disk 2 is 'dedicated' to FreeBSD with 'compatibility' partition, default FreeBSD partitions and sizes. Disks are EIDE mode 4 on PCI bus. /bin and kernel configuration goes ok, and boot manager chooses correct disk and boot process starts, but after 'changing to device wd1a' message I get 'panic: cant mount root'. Is it possible to boot from 'D' drive or only from 'C'? I want to leave my disk 1 untouched as far as possible. Do I need more than just the /bin for a minimal installation, which I can add to later? >How-To-Repeat: Repeatable on my system. Create kernel on disk 2, with boot manager on both disk 1 and disk 2, select 'disk2' when asked by boot manager. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
