I'm a beginner with 2.2.1 and I just reinstalled win95 on the other
500MB of my 1.6GB harddrive, Yes I gave BSD over 1GB, but that is a
different story.  When I finished the installation my system nolonger
found BSD so I had to boot from the floppy and type something to the
order of ( 0: wd(o,a) /kernel ) or somthing to that effect at the boot:
prompt and it worked.  You may wish to try somthing like that or try
typing /kernel at the boot prompt.

I hope this helped, what ever you do stick with BSD.
