I installed FreeBSD on a 386DX/33 with 20MB of RAM.  I have 2 hard drives. A
Conner 205MB and a Maxtor 345MB drive.  Both of them are IDE drives.  The
205 drive is master and the 345 is slave.  I have installed 4K partitions
on the 205 and 8K on the 345MB.  When I boot the computer is hangs when mounting
the root (/) partition.  It just sits there.  I can boot it in single user and
and the type exit and let it boot into multi-user and it comes up.  Boot from
a warmboot or cold boot it will not boot multiuser.  I need help please!  An
ideas?  


Thanks 
Byron
