I have just completed installation of = freeBSD 3.1=20 from cdrom, but i cannot seem to convince my computer that freeBSD = exists on the=20 harddrive. Please help.

I have one Seagate 34520A on = controller zero=20 which has a FAT, EXTENDED, and FREEBSD partition. I believe that = the=20 freeBSD partition is named wd0s3, because I can actually MOUNT that = partition=20 when using cdrom2 as a 'live file system'.

Anyway ....

When the system first starts up, I get = the "boot:"=20 prompt. I type in "0:wd(x,a)? [where x is any number from 0 to 9]" = and I=20 get the error "not ufs." I have also replaced the 'a" with = values up=20 to and including "f"
