after installing FreeBSD 2.2.2 and ensuring that the root file system was in
the
first 1024 cylinders. i tried to restart the system i got a message CAN'T FIND
KERNEL. at the boot prompt i typed kernel.GENERIC and got the same message
I purchased FREEBSD 2.2.2 from walnut creek so i called their technical
support 
and they could not figured out why it was happening so the advised me to 
consult the FREEBSD.ORG 

NOTE: my machine does not have mutiple partitions.
i have a 4 gig hard drive , 12 speed cdrom drive , pentium p166
