Well, something exciting happens each time I upgrade FreeBSD.  I just =
installed FreeBSD 3.3 on a system that is host to several operating =
systems and now I can't seem to boot FreeBSD 3.3 from LILO (Caldera 2.3) =
- panic: cannot mount root.  The error log and lilo.conf files are =
attached.  Would somebody please help me *and* is there a better place =
to be looking for answers to this kind of problem?

Disk 1 (BIOS Drive 0x80) - IDE - Disk is dedicated to Windows 95
(/dev/hda)

        First Partition - Redhat Linux 6.0 (/dev/hdb1)
        Second Partition - Caldera 2.3 (/dev/hdb2)

Disk 3 (BIOS Drive 0x82) - SCSI - Disk is dedicated to FreeBSD
(/dev/sda)
