This weekend I decided to install NetBSD...Installation went fine. I played
with it for the weekend and then went to reinstall my Dell SVR4 (2.2).  
This installation went fine, and when it was done and I rebooted, the system
will not boot, instead it just says:

	No Bootable Partition

I ran the Dell install again with the same results.  So, I took a step back
and tried to see if I could even get DOS to work.  Same result: No Bootable
Partition.

Yes,  I am setting an active partition.  The system is a 486/33 with
an Adaptec 1542B.  The boot drive is a Maxtor LXT213S.

Any ideas at all?
