Has anyone had problems installing FreeBSD with MFM disks? I have a 386sx25
with a 68M Maxtor and a 23M Kyocera drive (Not a lot but I don't have the cash
to upgrade and get more :(  Anyway while trying to install FreeBSD last night
everything was going fine until it started to make the root filesystem on the 
disk (Maxtor). It didn't give any errors other the the no disk label error.
It looks like the partitions are set up correctly using the fdisk, but I can't
seem to find out what the problem is. Does anyone have any ideas?

Jerome
