I am trying to install BSD/OS 2.0 on a new SCSI hard drive.  The problem
is that I can not boot from the drive after a successful installation.  

I go through the entire installation without any errors.  However, I can
not boot from the drive.  The system asks me to install a bootable
floppy.  It is acting like it can not find MBR on the drive.

Here is my configuration:

HP P/90 (Intel)
32Mb Ram
Adaptec AHA-1542C Scsi Controller
Seagate ST51080N 1GB HD
Installing from CD:  NEC CDR-500

Like I said previously,  I go through the entire install process without
any errors.  It just will not boot from the hard drive.

Please respond by email:

Thanks in Advance,

Jamie
