I have just installed a minimal FreeBSD 1.2.1.7 (I did not use 2.2.2
because I have 48MB of memory)

Any ways, I have winNT on a 1.2 gig IDE HD used as primary master
I have a IDE Sony CDU-311 as primary slave.
I have a 250MB HD used as secondary master for FreeBSD (200 MB root
partation, 50MB swap)

I got it installed ok, I chose to just use the MBR (not booteasy) on the
primary slave. my hope was to add FreeBSD to the WinNT boot menu. What I
wanted to do is boot from floppy, and use 'dd' to copy the boot block to
floppy. 

so I was going to boot FreeBSD from the floppy. I got to the boot prompt
and typed

wd(2,a)/kernel

and I got a infinate loop of this:

D:0X82 C:0 H:0 S:0

What happend?

 -Mike
