Hi,

I'm having problems booting a recently installed system.

It reaches the:

F1: FreeBSD
F5: Disk 2

Hitting F1 results in a beep and nothing.  If I toggle through the next
disk option. (I've got four SCSI disks) then I somehow get a prompt that I
can type: 0:(a,1) and the system will boot OK. 

I've looked through the boot0cfg, fdisk & loader manuals, but could not
find anything helpfull with regards to the beep and no action.

Using FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE.

If I install the MBR option using /stand/sysinstall then I get OPERATING
SYSTEM NOT FOUND reported by the BIOS.

Whats the best way to diagnose this problem?  What information is
required?

Thanks..

Jason
