During the install I dedicated the entire drive to FreeBSD using the A option in FDisk Partition Editor. I set is as bootable, and manually generated labels in disklabel editor according to the book. Everything looks fine through the install(did have some port collections hang the system so I installed without them) I added the boot manager to my primary HD(Win95) and when the machine reboots, I choose F5 for second disk. Everything starts to load, then I get the Panic Error. The error is "Cannot Mount Root" I think I have followed the complete FreeBSD book to the T. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate. I want to get this system up and running. Thank You Mark
