I just tried to install FreeBSD 3.2-S, AGAIN.  This time via FTP from ftp.freebsd.org.  Again, the install appears to have worked -but- after I restart my machine LILO refuses to boot FreeBSD.  The other three operating systems Windows 95, RedHat 6.0 and Caldera 2.2 continue to boot properly.  FreeBSD 2.2.7 was installed and also working properly before I installed 3.2.  Can anyone tell me what I did / am doing wrong?
I installed 3.2-S on the second IDE drive (wd1) in slice 2 - wd1s2.  I would have thought that the boot address would have been 1:wd(2,a)/kernel, but FreeBSD thinks the default should be 1:wd(1,a)/kernel.  I've used all the values from zero to 3, as in 1:wd(x,a)/kernel, and none of them work.  But why "Not ufs"?  Is root truly not formatted?  Is kernel missing?  Should I give up on stable and go to current?
