Greetings. I dont think this went through last time, so I am resending (Domos generally reject submissions from non-subbed address) Apologies if you get this twice. -- I successfully installed FreeBSD on one of my HD's, but when it boots it panics becuase it cannot find the root partition. Here is my setup: on IDE Port 0: Master IDE Drive (WD), Slave IDE CDROM on IDE Port 1: IDE Drive (WD) with FreeBSD on it The system reports the BSD Drive as wd2 (Which it is). I have tried placing these parameters at boot time: wd(2,a)kernel I know it can reasd the drive, as the boot can read the root partition, and it runs all the setup config programs, it just does not boot the root partition. Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated. -Chad
