(Sorry if this is a repeat, but our DNS was causing problems and I think this bounced the first time through). I'm a newbie to FBSD, but I did read the FAQ in the book and online and the newsgroup search didn't help either, so, here's the problem. Fresh install of FBSD 3.3, need to reconfigure the kernel for IPFIREWALL; that's the *only* reason that I needed to do this. The new kernel almost finishes when it prints: panic: Nobody wants to mount my root for me There is only one IDE drive: Apr 3 16:44:34 foo /kernel.old: wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa Apr 3 16:44:34 foo /kernel.old: wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <Maxtor 91366U4> Apr 3 16:44:34 foo /kernel.old: wd0: 12893MB (26406576 sectors), 26197 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S Questions: 1. Should I remove the wdc1/wd2/wd3 IDE options and rebuild the kernel? 2. I had no luck doing the 'boot 1:wd(,a)kernel' (and lots of variants thereof), any other suggestions? Also, I just received FBSD 4.0, should I use that instead of 3.3? <small rant> It would have been *really* nice if the final configuration that FBSD used had been put somewhere for me to use as a baseline instead of using the GENERIC file, which I commented out some things but I'm not exactly an expert with the kernel/hardware stuff, so I'm doing a lot of guessing. </rant> Thanks in advance!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doug Silver Quantified Systems, Inc ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
