Hello all....

I am installing FreeBSD Epsilon off the floppies and I am getting an
error where the disklabel isn't being written.  I totally erased everything
off the disk.  I wiped the boot record clean, and told FreeBSD install to
use the entire drive.

It says Labelling Drive...Done, but when the machine reboots, it says
that the wd0 label doesn't exist so it can't copy the kernel to the drive.

PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks...

A Frustrated Sal
