Folks,

I get "Can't open file /boot/loader" exactly as described in
this message I found from a google search :

http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/154/1999/11/50/2883365/

Unfortunately the google search came up with only 5 hits, and not a
single one of them was a solution to my problem.

Can someone tell me why FreeBSD will not boot?

It recognizes block 0 of dka0.0.0.9.0 as a valid boot block.

Please help.

thanks,
-Alan
