The problem is, I need to install it on my second drive, and after a DOS partition. I copied the kernel, and booted the FreeBSD partition with bteasy14.zip from simtel. Anyway, I get a boot prompt resembling the one when I boot floppy. The installer said I should boot from wd1a. But, if I choose anything, the boot program says, "Bad disklabel", and asks me for another choice. How can I fix this? I'll try starting from scratch again, but I doubt it'll help. -- Matt Bandy (mbandy@superdec.uni.uiuc.edu)
