Hi,
	I've been trying to install release 1.1.5.1 of FreeBSD.  Everything
seems to work fine until I try to boot for the first time from the hard
disk.  Then I get the message "Error loading operating system".  It appears
that the disk has been partitioned for freebsd, and I can reboot the dos
partition using fdisk.  But no freebsd. 8^(  Any ideas?  Here are some
details about my system...

AMI Super Voyager VLB-III, 256K cache, 16 MB
Buslogic BT-445S  (using the kcopy-bt-floppy, IRQ-12)
Quantum LPS540S
