Genius out there, pliz help:
i downloaded FreeBSD from ftp site and installed it alright.  But the 
problem comes in when i try to boot FreeBSD.  I have two hard drives, 1.2 
Gb and 540 Mb.  I put my source in 1.2 one and install them to 540 Mb.  
I use System commander to boot up the FreeBSD.  Everything goes ok until 
the last part the error mesg appears.  "panic: can not mount root"  then 
the system tried to reboot itself.  

any help will be very appreciated.
