Hi!,
	I was wondering if there's anyone out there, who's successfully
managed to Boot off from a SCSI DIsk ( NON SCSI ID 0 ), on 1.1.5-1.1.5.1
Release of FreeBSD.

	I've installed the bootblocks etc and the boot works fine, until it
hits the "AUtomatic reboot in progress". Thereafter it's simply hung and it's
time for the "yellow" button/Powerdown. Nothing else works. Booting
single user also does not help. It hangs in the same place. What I'm really
attempting to do is to have the "root" partition on SCSI DIsk1 as opposed
to SCSI DIsk0. I've built the kernel with "root on sd1 swap on sd1 etc..."

Anyone out there who's successfully done thing ?? The kernel is build against
1-1-5-1 SOurce trees.

ANy pointers would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Radha
