I have a pair of IBM pSeries 520 systems that I have been trying to install
FreeBSD onto. So far, it will load the bootloader, and that's it. It keeps
complaining that it can not find the kernel.

I was wondering if there's a special setting that I'm missing or something.
I can get it to boot Debian just fine, but for some reason it has issues
with the FreeBSD 9.2 and 10.0-RELEASE discs.
