(1-800-827-6364) Lines: 8 Sender: root@newsbf02.news.aol.com Message-ID: <3sf2tc$403@newsbf02.news.aol.com> Reply-To: halfstone@aol.com (Halfstone) NNTP-Posting-Host: newsbf02.mail.aol.com I just spent a few hours installing and then re-installing freebsd 2.0 on my system. When I finish partitioning the drive, editing and assigning the partitions, writing and rebooting, I get a series of messages like "unable to find device", then at the end of the scroll a message that says "resizing d partition" and then "panic - unable to mount root". Then the system reboots. I am a novice at this, but I read and reread the readme files, the troubleshooting file, the release notes and every other doc ... any suggestions? Thanks
