       I finally managed to install freeBSD on my second hard drive.  I 
used the boot disk, followed all the instructions and the program said 
everything is installed correctly.
        When I reboot and then choose bsd everything seems to be working 
when I get the followin:

panic: cannot mount root

reboot in 15 seconds.  press any key to abort

        I then press a key and get:

-> press any key to reboot <-

        What is the problem????????  How can I fix it??????  

                                Thanks in advance,
                                               Brian
