Hello Sir or Madame:

I am having huge problems getting freebsd up on my system.  We are
installing the OS on a system with
2 HD 1 3.5 gig Fujitsu (used for win95) and a 1.7 Gig Segate Drive (both
IDE) used for FreeBSD (also has a 200 meg partion on it for dos stuff...

Anyhow, the installation looks successful, however, when booting for the
first time I get a "panic: cannont mount root" message, then the system
reboots.  I tried everything, and we went trough the help files
numerously.... Any idea of what we could be doing wrong... I setup the
kernal, the disk geomitry is ok (I tried both using LBA mode and normal
mode)...

anyhow, all out of ideas... Please help me if you can.

Thanks

Richard
