I installed on sd2a, expecting to change the boot device to sd2a using the Adaptec BIOS (2940a U). It gets to the boot prompt, and then says "can't find kernel" :-( My guess is that I ought to be able to give it some command there to help it find the kernel, but I'm not sure what that would be. I tried a few variations but none of them seemed to work for me (all said the same thing: can't find kernel). I've got a perfectly working setup using sd0a for Win95, and sd1a for OpenStep (aka NeXTstep ver 4) and wanted to keep FBSD separate on its own drive. Is this possible? I chose "dangerously dedicated" when doing the install, to ignore the disk geometry message which I didn't understand, plus I want to devote this drive (1gig) entirely to FreeBSD.
