I am attempting to install FreeBSD to a Quantum 1Gb SCSI-2 drive, but after I finish downloading the OS and reboot, it tries to mount the partition and then stops with a "Panic: cannot mount" error and reboots. However, if I load the OS onto one of the IDE drives in the system, I can boot and work in FreeBSD just fine. My system looks like this: Pentium 200 MMX Tyan Tomcat III Dual CPU 128Mb EDO RAM Adaptec 2940UW Quantum 3.2Gb EIDE (Pri. Master) WD 1.6 Gb EIDE (Pri. Slave) Quantum 245Mb IDE (Sec. Master) IBM 4.2 Gb SCSI-3 (SCSI Id. 2) Toshiba 15X CD-ROM (SCSI Id 0) Ricoh CD-RW (SCSI Id 1) HP T-4000 External Tape Drive (SCSI Id 4) Iomega ZIP External (SCSI Id 5) SB AWE 64 Gold Microsoft InPort Mouse (Com 2 settings) USR External 56K (COM 1) NE2000-comp. Ethernet (IRQ 10, I/O 300) Diamond Stealth 3D 3000 4Mb VRAM Diamond Monster 3D Operating Systems: Windows 95 Windows NT 4.0 Server Windows NT 5.0 Workstation MS-DOS 6.22 w/ Windows 3.11 I am also using System Command 4.0 Deluxe to manage them all. I have checked the drive for any defects and have found none. I have even gone as far as to low-level format the drive from my 2940UW and the problem still persisted. I also had problems trying to get the Xfree86 setup to recognize my InPort mouse. I gave it all the right settings and it still didn't work. What mouse protocol should I be using? I have tried both BusMouse and Microsoft. Help!
