I can not get my hard drive to boot after doing the Novice installation of the OS 2.2.6 which I purchased the cd-roms fromWlnut Creek. I set the partition to dangerous mode, as I want the pc to be a totally stand alone freeBSD and I check that the settings are correct for the partition CA>= I believe that means the partition is active properly aligned etc.... then I select an automatic selection for the partion as far as where / and swp's and user directories etc........... and then it goes through it's merry little way and copies files to the hdd etc finally it finishes and I exit the install it then prompts me to remove the floppy and it will reboot. So I do but then I get boot error I tried various combinations but it appears as though I am missing something in a big way. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
