As I just got FreeBSD 2.2.2 on CD-ROM from Walnut Creek, I wanted to
install it ASAP. Having used Linux for quite some time, I thought I
might do well by myself (and, having noone else to ask for support :(

Install went ok, booted from SCSI-CD-ROM and started adding packages and
everything seemed fine. I installed everything on wd2, using another
bootmanager (OS/2) to boot FreeBSD.

The problem is that when I boot FreeBSD now, I just press enter to boot
(when it asks what kernel to load). Then the kernel starts running,
detecting devices as it goes.

Then:

"
panic:
Changing root to wd1a

Syncing disks... done
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds
"

What is wrong ?
How the f.ck do I get this thing to run.

After installing it, I really want to run this baby, it looks _good_

Help appreciated (please do CC in mail)
