Guest Nate15329 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm having a problem where the os dvd loads but is constantly stoping for "waiting for the root device". I even did some special startup commands after pressing f8. like: rd=disk0s0 -v, -f -v ,& -x -v. I'm using IDE virtual hard drive in 0:0 slot.
