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!
