Dear Madam/Sir, I hope you can help me with a hint because after having installed FreeBSD 2.2.1 it refuses to run. My configuration: PC with Intel Pentium 120 MHz, 1.7 GB Quantum HD and ATAPI CD-Rom on primary EIDE controller, 2.1 GB Fujitsu HD on second EIDE controller. The Free BSD "partition" is located on the second disk after an extended DOS partition of 1,5 MB. For installation I boot from floppy and then have to pass the initial statement 'flags npx0 1', otherwise it will not continue. Trying to resolve hardware conflicts by disabling devices which are not present results in a hang-up, thus I leave this as it is. I choose the first and the second drive for installation and create a 370MB slice on the second HD, on the first nothing is created, this is only for getting the bootmanager installed there. After the installation is completed I can boot from the bootmanager options, the hardware is probed and then I receive the message "Panic! Can't mount root" and the system is restarted ... I should be very grateful if you could give me some advice how to overcome this problem and understand the reason of this error. Thanks in advance Joerg Adelberger Joerg.Adelberger@IStech.de
