Scenario: 961014 SNAP P6/200 ASUS P6NP5 NCR 53810 PCI card with NCR BIOS Quantum Atlas 2GB as install disk The system works with the old installed wd0 but I wanted to install 961014 SNAP. After a 2050/64/32 stock install failed with the infamous 'Missing operating system' message (BIOS) I created from a DOS boot diskette a small (1MB) Dos partition and tried another install. This time I got 1010/66/63 suggested in the partition editor. Said A(ll) for FreeBSD and went ahead. Made minimum system. mkfs, devices etc. all worked fine. Rebooted the first time, 'Missing operating system' again. Now I'm really stuck. (BTW, what's odd with the current sysinstall is that once the disk is partitioned you can't get back to the partition editor and I got a warning: "chunk doesn't start on cyl boundary" or something and wanted to go back to the partition editor at that point which was impossible). --Chris Christoph P.
