I'm installing 3.1R on a couple of 4GB Seagate Medallist disks (from a
dumped installation), I make a only one partition of the disk and in that
I make a / fs and a swap, my problem is:

If I do the partition of the entire disk (in the mode that some space is
left in the front of the disk), then when I boot up with that disk, an
error show telling that no /boot/loader exist, and then the boot prompt
show and I can boot the kernel (but everything I have on the loader do not
work).

If I do the partition and all for FreeBSD (in the mode all space is the
same partition, no space left at front), then everything go ok.

I have to make a disk that need to have a DOS partition, so I'm stuck with
problem of the no /boot/loader

Can someone know what is this?
