I ran the installation from a dos partition on a 2nd HDD which I later =
removed from the system.=20

The installation copied all of the files and I did not see any error =
messages, however, after exiting the setup and rebooting I get the error =
message 'can't find file boot.config' and 'can't find file boot.help', =
and after that I get the 'boot:' prompt and the only message that I can =
get with that is 'can't find kernel'.=20

The current boot default is 0:wd(0,a)kernel and i have tried every =
combination that i know of thinking that the kernel maybe on a different =
partition.

What should/can I do??
