This is for Toshiba Portege 3025CT owners. Here is my personal experience installing FreeBSD 5.1-RELEASE on it. 1. The installation went rather smoothly, but on the first boot after installation I encountered a 'Root mount failed: 6' message: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s2a setrootbyname failed ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp Root mount failed: 6 Then after searching around, I got the hint that the ACPI support may be the cause, so on the boot menu I selected "Boot FreeBSD with ACPI disabled", then it worked. 2. The PCMCIA (pccard) controller could not be detected. No mention of it in 'dmesg' at all. After some probing, I booted to the Windows 98 partition and used the Toshiba HW Config utility, under the PCMCIA slot, the selection was "PCIC compatible" and I switched it to "Cardbus/16 bit", rebooted and the pccard controller was recognised. I hope these would be of use to someone, but I don't intend to stay on the list for long. wil.
