Hello!
Last week I tried to install FreeBSD on HP Netserver with EISA AIC7770 
driver. I have done it succesfully, but the kernel nstalled from
bindist distribution didn't have ahc driver. So I copied the kernel
from the boot floppy and now I can boot the system.
But I have still problem with my EISA 3c579 ethernet card. It has 
different configuration than on the install kernel.
So I decided to compile kernel. I got the kerndist and compiled it.
And there were new problems - after some tries I maneged to compile
kernel which recognized my SCSI driver and ethernet card, but 
the system still is not working - at the and of booting procedure
the system can't mount my root partition, the system says that there is
no MBR on my hard disk. The system is still working when booting with
the kernel compiled by you (copied from install disk).
Do you know what is going wrong? Where I made a mistake, or maybe I got
the wrong kernel sources. Or I made a wrong kernel configuration? Could you 
send me your config for the kernel on install disk?

Thanks in advance.
