My computer has three drives: wd0 IDE BSDI wd1 IDE Linux sd0 SCSI FreeBSD FreeBSD was successfully installed on the disk. The whole disk was allocated to FreeBSD (using the option on the partitioning screen). The fdisk screen shows the FreeBSD partition as sd0s1. It appears to create two small unused partitions, too. I modified my Linux boot diskette to have an option to boot FreeBSD. The FreeBSD kernel loads, then reports this error: changing root device to sd2a panic: cannot mount root And then it reboots. What's wrong? Dean
