Hi,

I have installed FreedBSD 4.0 from CD onto a pentium II machine with
compatible hardware. When I reboot after removing the CD I see the following
sequence on the monitor:

F1   FreeBSD

Default:F1

No /boot/loader

>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernal
boot:
No /kernal

>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernal
boot: #

Thats as far as I get, I see that the operating system is not starting but I
cant understand why. I have tried reinstalling. Can anyone explain this or
point me to a page that might help. Most of the documentation assumes that
the install is okay and goes straight onto to using FreeBSD.

With thanks,

Mark Pays
