And you do not have a DOS fdisk label on the disk, right? Eg, you need to use the entire disk. Not a slice. Do you didn't use a slice, right? If yes to both, then it appears the installation installed a broken loader. Since the loader has always worked for me since its inception, my first guess would be that the installation installed an i386 world. Try booting from the floppy. Do NOT load the mfsroot, just hit return. Then let the kernel boot. It should look for your root device & mount it. If this works, try mounting the kern.flp floppy & copy the floppy's boot/loader to /boot/loader. I have NEVER installed FreeBSD/alpha via a floppy / sysinstall method (and havn't installed i386 like that in 2+ years). So if anybody has done this recently & can help this guy, PLEASE chime in.
