Hello,

My hardware:
	IBM Aptiva
	intel mmx 200 MHz
	32 mb ram
	3 gig ide hard drive
		1st gig - Windows95
		2nd and 3rd gig - FreeBSD

I did a dual operating system installation using
	FreeBSD PowerPak
	FreeBSD 3.2 Disk 1 (installation disk):

I completed installation as the manual instructed.
Everything seemed to go ok. But when i boot the
following happens...

I power on and then choose F2 FreeBSD...

BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console:internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive B: is disk1
BIOS drive C: is disk2

FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.7 639/31744kB
(jkh@cathair, Tues May 18 03:22:02 GMT 1999
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
Unable to load kernel:

\
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [kernel]...
can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.

	( just in case it helps, here is a  lsdev   from this prompt:)


disk1s2a:>lsdev
disk @ 0x14818
	disk0:	BIOS drive A:
	disk1:	BIOS driveC:
		disk1s2a:  FFS    40MB (2048256 - 2130176)
		disk1s2b:  swap   69MB (2130176 - 2271904)
		disk1s2e:  FFS    20MB (2271904 - 2312864)
		disk1s2f:   FFS 1969MB (2312864 - 6346368)
	disk2:	BIOS drive D:

I hope this will help !  I typed it from a PrintScreen :o
