I have recently installed a 2nd hard drve, which is dedicated to FreeBSD. The old hard drive is Master on IDE drive 1; the cdrom is slave on the 1st IDE drive. The new hard drive is jumpered as "single" on the 2nd IDE drive. I can now install from the CD-ROM, and in fact have. I am using LILO to boot to Linux and DOS on hard drive 1, and it it is succesful. What I can not do is boot to FreeBSD. Using LILO as my boot manager, I key in "bsd" at boot time, and the FreeBSD boot process begins. Then after a few minutes I receive this message: panic: cannot mount root and then it automatically reboots. Root is the first partition after the MBR. How can I take the next step and get FreeBSD to completely boot? Thank you, all. Chris Booth _____________________________________________________________________ Christopher J.
