Terry,

    Thanks for the reply.  I went ahead and put another SyQuest disk
in my drive and said to use the whole thing.  My C drive (sd0) I
partitioned so that everything went to DOS except for 2 MB (that was
all it saw left) which I gave to swap; this allowed me to disklabel
the rest of it as /dos.  I put /, swap, and /usr on the a, b, and e
partitions of the SyQuest which is sd1.  I then followed the
directions and rebooted from the hard disk.  I had followed the
instructions under troubleshooting for using a drive other than 0 as
my boot drive; so I selected FreeBSD as my operating system and typed
sd(1,a)/kernel at the boot prompt.  Now my screen fills with the
following error echoed over and over again:

ERROR: C:0 H:0 S:0

Do you have any idea what may be going wrong.  Thanks for the help.

Cheers--

Al
