Subject:   SCSI Drive Cant Find Kernel on boot up without intervention

Hello,

WE recently installed Free BSD on a Pentium Pro 200, 128 Mb RAM, 4.3Gb WD
SCSI and a 4.3gb WD IDE Drive.  During the Bootup Process, I get the
following error:

BOOT:
dosdev= 80, biosdrive = 0, unit=0, maj=0
empty partition
Cant Find /Kernel

Then it loops trying to find it giving the same error message.  

If I enter this

Boot:  1:sd(0,a)kernel  

it jumps right into the system as a normal bootup woudl and runs fine.

Any clues as to what I may have done in the install process to cause this?

This is the partitioning of the drives:

Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd0a      496367    14617   442041     3%    /
/dev/sd0s1f   2242672   371157  1692102    18%    /usr
/dev/wd0s1e   4076573        1  3750447     0%    /usr2
/dev/sd0s1e    893279     1131   820686     0%    /var
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc


Any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks
Adam
