I've been trying to install freeBSD at home for some time now. I have OS/2 on the primary drive on the 1st hard disk controller. The second disk is on the second controller, and has a 50M DOS partition (for games) and 350M for FBSD. When I install from floppy all goes well. I select wd2 for the install, then I build a new kernel from the shell on F4. At boot time it claims it's booting from wd1a, yet at the drive detection time it finds the drive & calls it wd2. Then panics when it can't mount root. I have tried putting "root on wd1", and on wd2 in the new kernel. The /etc/fstab entries all point to slices on wd2. I'm using the default boot manager, I can't remember its name. It has the F1 F5 style options. Any ideas? Peter Stubbs, St Aidan's AGS. ph +61-07-3379-9911, fax +61-07-3379-9432
