Need pfdisk output for the drive from a boot from a DOS floppy and a boot from the DOS partition of the HD. If the floppy one shows a single partition of drive type 0x54, then you need to add 63 cylinders to the apparent location of the slice. It's important to know for an absolute certainty if it's the DOS MBR, OS-BS, or the BSD BIOS boot that is claiming no operating system.
