All,

	I just finished applying the patches for the 386BSD system from
Terry Lambert (Thanks Terry !!!!!).  I have a slight problem.  When applying
patch number 00021 (to add multiple hard drives to the system) the kernel
panics on boot up.  The message said 'cannot mount root'.  I am currently
running only 1 of the 2 65Mb hard drives that are on the system.  (soon
as I can get the kernel updated I will add the second).  Would anyone
have any ideas?  My configuration is as follows:


Northgate 20Mhz 386DX system
 2 RLL hard drives (65Mb each)
 2 5 1/4 FDDs
 a 2400 baud modem

 4 Mb of memory (w/coprocessor)
 I am using the standard GENERICISA configuration when building the kernal




 Thanks

 Robert Knier
