I sucessfully installed FreeBSD 2.2.7 off a dos partition using a boot floppy -- so I know the kernel on the boot floppy works fine. After rebooting, the boot manager displays the "boot:" prompt, and I hit enter. The kernel starts to load, and the first slash starts to twirl. After twirling for a few seconds it freezes -- and that's it. It stops at the first spinning slash. I tried the debug and verbose options at the boot: prompt, but it never gets to the point where they would be useful. What should I do? thank you!
