I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.1 on my new machine with:
Adaptec 2940UW
internal JAZ

Everthing seems to go fine during the install, but when I go to
actually boot it up after the install it complains that it can't mount
the root partition, panics, and reboots.

Any advice?

Other information: JAZ disk is SCSI ID 4, and it set as the boot device
in the Adaptec config. I have fixed hard drive on SCSI ID 0 and a CDROM
at ID 1.
