Hi again,

now, i have installed FreeBSD sucessfully on this AlphaPC 164Lx machine. but
i need a bootdisk to boot it. So i try:

fdformat fd0
disklabel -B -r -w fd0 fd1440
newfs /dev/rfd0a
mount /dev/fd0a /mnt
echo '0:da(0,a)/boot/loader' >/mnt/boot.config
But when the machine boots with the created floppy it tells me: Can't open
/boot/loader

Can it be, that i must put the kernel bootloader and so on to the disk too?
How can i doo this? Actually i must reinstall the system for each failed
boot prograss. its not verry fine :-(

Olli
