Hi, My system is pretty screwed. I really need to get this working. I just tried to install FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE from CD on a Pentium 200MMX, Intel Etherexpress pro 100 b, stealth64 video and DPT 2144UWR RAID SCSI card. I have 3 drives in there, two in a mirrored array and one as a hot spare. All DPT diagnostics show no problems. I got through the FreeBSD install, nothing fancy happens, same as I've installed in a half dozen other systems. I do dangerously dedicated partitions. I reboot when it's done, startup, right after the Pentium F00F bug fix, it says changing root device to st0s1a cannot mount root: panic I've tried reinstalling and not doing dangerously dedicated. When I do that, after a reboot, it says Missing operating system. If I use a boot disk to load the kernel off 0:sd(0,a)kernel it gives the changing root device error. When looking at the drive booted off a fixit CD, it mounts fine. kernel.config and boot.config are empty. /etc/fstab shows normal /dev/sd0s1a type stuff. I really have no idea what to do now. Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks, *sigh* --- Jesse <j@lumiere.net> http://www.lumiere.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
