I am installing BSD on my second hard drive which is master on the
secondary controller. After installing BSD, when i reboot, and then boot
to BSD, the kernel starts to uncompress, it detects my two hard drives
and my cdrom,
then I get an errors which says:

changing root device to wda1
panci: cannot mount root.
syncing disk....done
rebooting

how would I fix this problem. Both my hard drive and the cdrom are Ide.
