Can someone help with this pls.

I gave a colleague one of the free 2.2.6 CD sets. He tried installed
it he got "panic: cannot mount root" immediately after the npx0: INT
16 interface message.

He has tried disconnecting all his HD's except for the one he is
putting FreeBSD on, re-installed on that disk. The install completes
successfully but on rebooting he still gets this error. He's tried
both with & without the FreeBSD boot manager but gets the same result.

I haven't actually seen his m/c as it's a bit difficult for me to go
to his house.

Has anyone any idea how to fix this as I've never had this problem.

I'm concerned that we can fix this as my colleague is a Windows user
and sometime Linux user so he's not particularly impressed with
FreeBSD so far :-(
