i am trying to get a machine set up for work on Monday. Turns out the 1.2G dsk I brought home for this machien is bad. I put a 20G I had in to allow me to continue, but I can't get the BIOS to see it well enough to allow me to bootfrom it (old 486 machine). Could someone please tell me how, or point me to docs, no building a boot floppy that will boot the kernel on the hard disk, and mount hte hard disk root partiton as /? I would _greatly_ appreciate som help on this. The FreBSD book did not give me any guidance on this. I know you can do this in Linux using LILO, surely we can do it to?
