Hello!

I installed 4.0-RELEASE on an old 486 laptop. It installs very fine,
using the network card. I't only FreeBSD on the machine. When
installation was finished the machine refuses to find a boot sector. It
says: "Read error"

Nothing more. It would be nice not to try the install again, but to fix
the boot sector. Any suggestions. Can I run picobsd and in some way
access the disk? Any help would do!

Please cc me since I don't follow the list at the moment.
