Subject:   Can't boot from 'C' drive, why?

I can not boot up from the 'C' drive any more.  It use to work
until I upgraded to 2.2.

When I have the system board configured to use the 'C' drive
first, I get a 'Read error'.
The read error is happening because the system is going out to
the floppy drive and I do not have a diskette in it.

I can bootup under a floppy and then enter the
        sd(0,a)/kernel
And this works fine.

I have re-installed twice, tried disklabel.

When I installed I choose to use the complete drive for
FreeBSD.

System configuration:
        Micron P166
        48 meg memory
        Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller
            Drive 1 2.5gig
            Drive 2 1.5gig SYJET
            Drive 3 CDROM 10x
            Drive 4 CDROM 6x

Anyone that can give my any help, thank you in advance.
