I have a DEC Celebris 590 PC which I just loaded FREEBSD 2.0 on.  The problem
that I am having is writing the boot block to the disk.  The drive is an E-IDE
disk.  The system is installed and working but when I try to boot off of the
hard drive, I get a READ ERROR.  If I boot the hard drive from the floppy,
it works.
