Morning all ...

	I have three SCSI drives in my system ... when I first built it,
drive 0 was running a Windows partition for testing some apps through our
firewall, and drive 1/2 were FreeBSD ... got rid of the the Windows
partition and remade it FreeBSD, but now when I boot, I get:

	No /boot/loader

	and I have to type da(1,a)/kernel at the boot: prompt to boot
... which of course kills stuff like pstat -s, so I want to fix this ...

	To fix, I'm guessing that I have to install some sort of boot
manager, but am wondering if this is something that can be done from unix,
and how?  Instead of having to make a DOS boot disk to do it ...

	Would prefer not to have to reintsall the system :)

Thanks ...
