hello,

I get through the install quite fine when installing to wd3. But I have a boot hd at wd1 I can't get the boot loader to boot the kernel on wd1 I get the error error 6 panic cannot mount root. I read in the freebsd faq that I need to assign the wd3 drive to boot in the kernel but I can't edit the kernel without a shell to do it in.

(step 2 is not an option)
(how do I do this without a shell to edit from?)

is there any other solution for me to boot to wd3 drive?
