Dear All:

I have install FreeBsd4.2 successfully from CD.  I build the new Kernel
and reboot the P.C.

The P.C started to bootup , but it hangs and display the following
message.

--------Boot Message ------------------

mounting root from    ufs: /dev/ad4s2a
Root mount failed: 6
Mounting root from ufs:wd0s2a
swapon:/dev/ad4s2b: Device not configured
Automatic boot in progress....
cannot  open /dev/ad4s2a:Device not configured
/dev/ad4s2a: cannot check file system
/dev/ad4s2a: unexpected inconsistancy; Run fsck manually
Automatic file system check failed... help!
enter full pathname of shell or return for /bin/sh:

--------End Boot Message ------------------

I have a 6 Gig Win98 partiotion and I have intalled FreeBsd 4.2 after
Win98 partion.
I have installed FreeBsd 4.0 in the same way on my previous IBM H/D with
out any problem.
I now have a new  Seagate H/D.

My P.C configuration is as  Follows:

Celeron500 256 MB Ram, 20 Gig H/D Seagate Barracuda III, Abit BE6II
motherboard with HighPoint UDMA 66.


I enclose my Kernel configuration files . I would be grateful if you
could let me know if you spot
any problem.

Please send your reply to address below, since I have not subscribed to
the above newsgroup.
