Hello,
I may be having a similar problem, and would like to learn of
solutions, too. Walnut Creek FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM install seems to work
fine (from Toshiba 3401 SCSI), but at reboot I get last lines:
pci0:20 Buslogic, device=0x1040, class=storage (SCSI) [no driver
assigned]
changing root device to sd1a
panic: cannot mount root
FreeBSD *is* installed at sd(1,a). I've tried the -c to remove *all*
conflicts, but it didn't help. I have a Tyan Titan III motherboard with
P133/32Megs and Buslogic 946C with Number Nine FX Motion 771 (PCI).
Ironically, DOS/Win95/WinNT/OS2/Linux all work fine. Our local Free-Net is
considering switching from Linux to FreeBSD and I want to be able to do
testing at home.
