I am in panic mode, for one thing, that is what FreeBSD advised me to do: panic: can't mount root I have a pentium 166 64mb RAM, 1 SCSI CDROM, and hard drives as follow Primary master = 2.5GB IDE DOS/Windoze wd0 Primary slave = 6.5GB IDE DOS wd1 Secondary Master = IDE CDROM Secondary slave = 4.5GB IDE FreeBSD wd3 I installed BSD giving it the whole disk, leaving the first partition open for another OS, not "dangerously dedicated". The fstab points to wd3s1a, b, e, f as /, swap, /var, and /usr. I am using OSBS and it starts the booting from wd3, I suppose, since there is no other place that BSD resides that I can see. Just before the panic message it says that it is switching root to wd2s1a. There ain't no such critter. Please help! Could you cc to dukonalake@aol.com Oh, I am installing from the Walnut Creek CDROM 4 disk set.
