HELP!

I'm installing my first PC-unix.  I've got Free-BSD release 1, and I'm trying
to put it on my 486.  The primary drive is 450-odd meg, and is split into 
three partitions, OS2 boot manager, DOS, and a data area.  A SCSI drive has
the space (in a partition) for the unix.  

The kernel-copy disk goes through OK, and the filesystem disk goes OK for a
while, recognising things, etc, but THEN I get

         wd0: cannot find label (no disk label)

and then it stops.
Any ideas?    

Thanks in advance.  Sorry if it's in the FAQ (can't find one for FreeBSD).
