      Hi I have just installed the imbedded version onto a cf card from widows.
      I am using a GB - 1500  ( http://www.gta.com/downloads/external/dataSheet/smeFamilyUs-s.pdf ) which looks great and has 4 x ethernet as well.
      When I connect with a serial cable and watch the boot process I see

      unknown: <pnp0400>can't assign resources (port)
      unknown: <pnp0501>can't assign resources (port)
      Timecounter "TSC" frequency 1395479946 Hz quality 800
      Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec
      Fast IPsec: Initialized Security Association Processing.

      panic: Root mount failed, startup aborted.

      Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
      Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort
      –> Press a key on the console to reboot,
      --> or switch off the system now.

      any info appreciated
      Thanks</empty></fstype></device></device></fstype></toshiba></ready,dsc,error></pnp0501></pnp0400>

        at the mountroot prompt put in:

        ufs:ad3s1a

        and hit enter.  when you're booted up, edit /etc/fstab in Diagnostics -> Edit file and change da0 to ad3.
