I've just installed freebsd V2.2 on a 486. Installation has gone fine apart
from one thing, it won't boot automatically on power-up.

If I use the Freebsd boot disk to manually boot 0:wd(0,a)/kernel, it works
fine.

Otherwise, it just sits there like a dead thing. 

Any pointers most gratefully received...

Thanks
Rachel
