:I am using 2.2.8-Stable. I have a PII 350, 196mb ram, 3Com 3C90x NIC,
:basic PIIBX mb, ATI Rage Pro AGP 2X, 16bit SB. One hd 4.3 gb has 2 parts
:both NTFS, second hd 3.2gb created 3gb part for FBSD.
:
:Used the floppy and ran the install using FTP. Everything seemed to go
:very well. Installed booteasy on both drives. Everything looked normal
:till I tried to restart and the system panic'ed and said it couldn't
:mount root "/". I tried the installation twice and received the same
:result.

Been there.  Done that.  

Assuming that FreeBSD is installed on the first partition of the
second HDD, you'll need to enter this (1) at the boot prompt (2) in
the /boot.config.

1:wd(1,a)kernel

This also makes the assumption that you're using IDE drives.

Good luck,

Jim
