Afraid this might be a FAQ, but...
I'm facing a "cannot mount root" problem. PLS help.

<How it does not work>
The booting stoppes at;

ncrscsi0 targ 0 lun 0: <IBM, DORS-32160, S82C> SCSI2 0/direct fixed
sd0 at scsibus0: 2063MB, 6703 cyl, 5head, 126 sec, 512 bytes/sec
ncr96scsi0 at mainbus0 not configured

Changing root device to sd0a
I/O map kludge for old ROMs that use hardware addresses directly.
panic: cannot mount root
Stopped at      _Debugger+0x6:  unlk    a6
