please help me with freebsd installation 


how i installed freebsd

step1. make a boot floppy --> makeflp.bat

step2. boot up using the boot floppy 

step3. went into user config 
          i had 23 conflicts i reconfigure and had 0 conflicts after that 

step4 set my disk geometry to match the settings
          disk geometry 969/128/63

step5 delete dos slice and create bsd slice of 1 gigabyte
          set the partition active 

step6 creating the file type root,swp and var 
         i use auto defaults
the root file system has 32 mb    part(wd0s1a)
     var                          30 mb    part(wd0s1e)
     swap files                73 mb   part(wd0s1b)
     usr                         887 mb  part(wd0s1f)

          
step7 i chose the installation media CD ROM

step8 i installed the everything

i had 2 errors on tty2 screen

messages DEBUG: ERROR mount /dev/wcd0c
                                                   fstab 
spoke to the technician at walnut creek he said those are not really errors
that would affect installation 

step9: i restart my system (i took out the boot floppy)
          
i got the message can' find boot.config
then i got the next message can't find the kernel
i try at the boot prompt kernel.GENERIC 
i got the same message can't find the kernel

at the boot default prompt 
 BOOT DEFAULT:
               0:wd(0,a)kernel 
message 

i appreciate if you can help me i am really frustrated at this point 

thank you frustrated unix student
