Summary: I'm having problems booting from a BT742 & Quantum 1800s drive
Keywords: FreeBSD 1.1

I'm having a problem booting from a BT742 & Quantum 1800s drive. I have 
os-bs 1.35 installed & am able to boot DOS ok. but when I try to boot 
from the FreeBSD partition, I get the message "No Operating System". I've 
configured the drive on another system. It seems to fdisk OK, I've used 
disklabel to put on the correct FreeBSD partitioning info on it, newfs'ed 
the partitions, and have correctly mounted them on the other system.

I've tried various permutations of the disklabel parameters, still, no luck.
If someone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions....

thanks
