Dear FreeBSD Users: I am a beginner trying to install FreeBSD, but I ran into some problems, they are: 1) panic: cannot mount root I can install FreeBSD without any problems, that means copy everything to hard disk, etc. But after I reboot as instructed in the setup program, boot: appeared on the screen, but I just hit <return>, and then awhile later, I got this problem: panic: cannot mount root Then it reboots (15 seconds wait)... 2) X-Window unable to start I decided that since the root cannot mount, I use sysinstall to quit to the root (#) instead. I went into X11 directory and executed the XF86Config program. In the XF86Config program, I answered everything it wanted, but when I tried to execute "startx" it gives me all this errors saying that it cannot connect to client or something like that. i hope someone can help me, it's my first day using freebsd. thank you! -Jason atomicjello@cyberjunkie.com _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
