Hi

I have an AMD Duron 700Mhz running FreeBSD 5.3.

When power up I get

error 16 lba 287
error 16 lba 287
No /boot/loader

fdisk from the installation CD finds the harddrive as normal.

A friend found the following for me

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2005-March/081879.html

Seems to be the same, but the commands that person entered don't work for m=
e..

I couldn't find anything searching on the full error.

Any ideas, or shall I just do a complete reinstall? The machine isn't
vital so that is plausible.

Ben Haysom.
