Ok, I gave up on the idea of booting from the second HD, and moved all
my DOS there.  I know have BSD installed on my primary HD (wd0), but when
I reboot the computer, all I get is "Missing operating system".  Apparently
it can't find the kernel, even though I boot, use the filesystem, format,
partition, and then copy the kernel over.  Nothing returns a bug, and it
all seems to install perfectly.  It just can't find it.

Can any of you wonderful BSD guru's help with this problem?  

Thanks,
Robert Mobbs
