Hi everyone,

could somebody help me? I've burned out ;) When trying to boot fresh
installed disk (after successfull netboot&install of .tgz, making /dev/...,
etc.) my system hangs up during boot-up process saying:

Whenever I try to netboot back and fsck everything, it seems ok, even when
I connect the HDD to another PCbased NetBSD machine.
Tried to play with active partition definition, nothing happened.

Looks like kernel doesn't see the root partition at wd0a and makes a root
on wd0e where only the /boot/vmlinux.gz resides.

I repeated every step from those manuals accessible on Netbsd.org
(http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/faq.html), but nothing happened


Does somebody know a solution for this problem, I really hate to stay at
the office in the evening these days ;-)

Than You.
