Annett" To: FreeBSD-questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Missing Operating System Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to install freebsd on a compaq Prolinea 4/33s with a seagate st3391a drive the install seems to go well until I get to the point to have the system boot from the hard drive in order to go to step 3 to install the cpio files. At the reboot I get the message Missing operating system. Is there a way to copy the kernel to the hard drive manually? Or is it possible that the st3391a drive is not compatible with FreeBSD? Any help that I could get would be greatly appreciated as my current machine storage is full and I need to get this one up before I take my older Gateway 386/16 off line. TIA John R.
