Ok... now I've really done it... I deleted the slices, and selected NO boot
manager (just boot right into BSD) but now it just hangs when trying to
boot.... is there some bug in the 3.2/3.3 installations/boot code that is
exposed with the system I've got? It boots from the CD and Floppy OK, just
not from these hard drives!

Please help....

I have a brand new system consisting of the following:

Abit BP6 dual celeron MB & 2 celerons
128 MB RAM
2 IBM 18 GBB HDD's.

When I follow all the standard options for installing, marking the first
disk bootable, etc.. the thing just tells me it can't find a kernel when
rebooting. I can't get it to boot at all. NO boot manager options EVER come
up unless i DELETE a slice. I've tried this thing dozens of times with
various tweaks but I'm getting nowhere...

HELP!!!

Thanks!
Don
