Hi there,=20

I am getting invalid partition when I boot up, also the message 'No Boot =
Loader'.
I am desparately trying to boot this machine up as it has a server =
config on the HD.=20

If I boot of a BSD CD and use FDISK the partition slice is wd0s1
If I run label it says the paritition slice is wd0s1e=20
However I have tried putting in /dev/wd0s1e at the boot: prompt and it =
still doesnt work.. any ideas people?
