Hi,

	I haqve been trying to install FreeBSD on a partition of my 
second hard drive on my 486 100MHZ IBM PC. Everything seemed to go fine 
but I get the error that "Missing Operating System" when I try to boot 
it. Your FAQ mentions this but I can't find where it gives the solution 
to the problem. 

	Do you know how I can find the correct geometry for my drive?

						Thanks,
