Hey guys,

I have been trying to installed this from the CD all day.  My latest   
problem is that your boot manager gives me the following error:

SYSTEM DOES NOT SUPPORT RESIDENT BASIC
SYSTEM HALTED

So now I am trying to use the boot disk and set it up so that it will   
boot from my SCSI drive.  I have an ESDI drive partitioned as C: and D:,   
and a SCSI drive partitioned for FreeBSD and a SCSI CDROM drive.  I have   
tried hd(1,a)/kernel (like the system said) and couldn't get it to boot.   
   


Please tell me how to either get the boot manager to work, or to create a   
boot disk that boots and loads the SCSI drive.

I am using an Everex Step486/33 EISA system.

FYI -- I am moving from LINUX to FreeBSD and the LILO from Linux gave me   
no problems.
