Hi All,

I've installed FreeBSD 4.0-R on a Thinkpad 600X. The hard drive is 12GB. Due 
to there being a previous installation of WIN98+NT, I was forced to install 
beyond cylinder 1024. After installation, the boot manager is unable to boot 
the FBSD partition.
How can I boot using fbsdboot? I've tried using the kernel from the install 
CD, and the kernel from the installed root filesystem, but it complains 
about bad format (of the kernel, I'd guess).
The root device's node is /dev/ad03a. The primary DOS partition's node is 
/dev/ad01a.

Please help - I'm now forced to use a solution such as VMWare, which is less 
than optimal (to say the least :) ).

Cheers,
Alex.
