I'm getting an error when I try to boot into FreeBSD 4.0.  I loaded the =
OS with no problems.  I loaded the Standard bootmanager, and did an =
auto-config for partitioning my hard drive.  After installation, the =
computer restarted and went into bsd with no problems.  The next time I =
restarted, and now every time I try to boot up, here's what happens:

(goes through initial boot process fine, memory test, device =
listing....)

Updating DMI Pool Data ..................Update Success
Not ufs
Not ufs
No /boot/loader

>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
Not ufs
No /kernel

>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:=20

And the curser flashes there.  Help!!  I can't get it to boot!  I've =
tried reinstalling it totally, and it does the same thing.
Any help on this would be appreciated.  Thanks!

-Steve
