Hello all, I have installed 2.2.8 on two different machines and have ended up with the same problem. I used V Communications Partition Commander to partition my hard disk. I have Win98 installed on the first partition. I installed 2.2.8 on the second partition on one machine and on the third partition on another machine. I tried using System Commander as the boot manager. I also tried using dos fdisk to switch between the active partitions to choose which one to boot (thus not using any boot management software.) I also tried using booteasy. I installed from CDROM and from an MS-DOS directory. The problem that keeps happening is after I install, I can boot FreeBSD okay maybe one, two, or three times, but then I get the following error at the end of a boot sequence: wd0: cannot find label (I/O error) wd0s3: cannot find label (I/O error) panic: cannot mount root syncing disks... done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds. I have gotten Linux and BeOS to run okay on the second or third partition and have been able to boot them numerous times. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I really like FreeBSD from a philosophical view.
