Hi...

I always got this massage after booting

panic: cannot mount root

and it starts rebooting... I guess this is due to the wrong geometry, I
hope I'm right..
If so, anyone help me try to find the right one?

I have 'WD Cavier 3100, 1.08 GB -2nd HD'  and on BIOS, (C,H,S) setting is
2100 16 63, and at the partition editor I tried (C,H,S) 1024 16 63 and 525
64 63 but got same result....

thanks in advance...
