I have the same problem, similar situation. I am using IBM's boot Manager since I have OS/2 4.0 and Win 95 installed on different drives. FreeBSD is installed on the last HD. Boot Manager boots the FreeBSD partition, then I get panic: cannot mount root. I have tried several combinations at the boot prompt to no avail. Jay L. Norton grizzly@ionet.net
