I got an old IBM to play with freeBSD I made a Install CD and was 
installing it the other day and during the install the machine 
basically crashed for what ever reason I rebooted the machine and the 
screen says this.

Booting [kernel]...
can't load 'kernel'
can't load 'kernel.old'

Type "?" for a list of commands or "help" for more detailed help.
ok _


Thats it I can not get it to boot from the cd any more even though I 
have changed the BIOS to check the CD first and I also have a Win98 
boot disk and that doesn't work either. I remember selecting the boot 
manager for BSD before it crashed.

Is there any thing I can do to reformat the drive and start over?
Or get it to boot from the cd or floppy?

Thanks,
