On my freebsd box, when I reboot, I get the invalid partition table message.
If I stick in the floppy and reboot and type in sd(0,a)/kernel then it boots
off of my hard disk.  Do I need to modify my boot exectuable (vi /sys/i386/
boot/biosboot/boot.c)?  If so, what do I modify?  If not, do I need to
run disklabel?

Thanks.

Elya.
