Recently I tried to install System Commander 2.24 so I didn't have to
boot FreeBSD from a floppy all the time.  System Commander detected my
Win95 partition and BSD partition correctly, or so it seemed.  Win95
boots up ok, but when I try FreeBSD, it says 'No bootable partition'.
Here is my drive info:

Drive 1:
Partition 1:  Win95/DOS C: (696 MB)

Drive 2:
Partition 1:  DOS D: (300 MB)
Partition 2:  FreeBSD 2.0.5 (396 MB)

Before, I was booting FreeBSD by using the boot floppy, and entering
'wd(1,a)/kernel' at the Boot: prompt.  When I try this, I get the same
error message, 'No bootable partition'.  Is there any way at all I can
get back to FreeBSD???

Thanks,
Ryan
