:Yesterday I went to a friends house for installing a box from the freebsd
:3.0-release cdrom (I have also the src and obj very current on another cd
:to do a quick make installword :-).
:
:He has :
:1 hd master (A) + 1 cdrom slave on primary ch.
:1 hd master (B) + 1 zip atapi slave on secundary ch.
:
:on (A) there is a primary win98 partition. on (B) there is a fat partition
:on wd2s1 and a freebsd installation on wd2s2a.
:
:The installation procedure was fine, but at the next reboot it can't mount
:the root fs because it tries to mount / on wd1s2a even if in /etc/fstab
:there is wd2s2a ! I think it is a problem related to the fact that the
:cdrom make confusion on the routine that have to find the hd & slice number...
:
:everything was fine after adding a boot config with 1:wd(2,a)kernel
:
:Is it a known problem or I miss something ?

Look at the disklabel for wd2s2. If the 'disk:' field in the label
says wd1 that may be your problem.
