I'm fairly sure that you can boot the install floppy and at some point while it's booting it gives you a chance to interrupt and boot from the hard disk. (You might have to wait till you get to the main menu and then use the "fixit" option and floppy, but I doubt it.) The problem is that you have to learn how to name the disk partition which holds the kernel which you have already installed. It's probably explained in the handbook or a paper BSD book. It's kinda nasty, something like: 0:ad(0,a) Before you give up and re-install, try just using the menu options as far as adding the boot loader and then exit out the menues to reboot (and ctrl-alt-del works too, IIRC).
