 Hello,

I am pretty new to FreeBSD and tried installing FreeBSD 4.0 (Powerpack set) and everything in the instalation went fine. After I reboot and boot into FreeBSD it stops at boot and says it can't find a kernel ... though I can get a listing of the root dir and see both kernel and kernel.GENERIC. I've tried loading and booting these kernels with no luck. Re-installing has the same effect (though one the 2nd retry it stated there was no /boot/loader). My system is all within the Hardware list given on the FreeBSD site. Thanks :-).


Steve
