Having used Linux for quite some time, I thought I might do well by myself (and, having noone else to ask for support :( Install went ok, booted from SCSI-CD-ROM and started adding packages and everything seemed fine. I installed everything on wd2, using another bootmanager (OS/2) to boot FreeBSD. The problem is that when I boot FreeBSD now, I just press enter to boot (when it asks what kernel to load). Then the kernel starts running, detecting devices as it goes. Then: " panic: Changing root to wd1a Syncing disks... done Automatic reboot in 15 seconds " What is wrong ? How the f.ck do I get this thing to run. After installing it, I really want to run this baby, it looks _good_ Help appreciated (please do CC in mail) Geir -- \\\|/// Geir Bjune - Student ved IFD,HiBu \\ ~ ~ // http://home.sn.no/home/gbjune ( @ @ ) Women love cats.
