Hello again !

I made the following partition (with 572MB for the beginning) : 

/  90MB
swap  100MB
/usr  100MB
/var  282MB

(all are file system except the second who is swap).

I choose minimum Installation (choice number 6 if I remember).

All was until this line : 

5776384 bytes read from bin dist, chunk 25 of 102@   940.2 Kb/sec

And then came the following message : 

"Can't find a kernel image to link to on the root file system ! you're going to have a hard time getting this system to boot from the hard disk, I'm afraid."

I can boot BSD, do some command as ls or help, but I think I missed something. Can you tell me What ?.

Thank you.
