This weekend I recently tried to install FreeBSD 2.1.0 off of FTP.  As far 
as I can tell, the installation went well except for the Boot Manager part.

I have two hard drives in my machine- a 130 and a 406 MB.  I put FreeBSD on 
the second Partition of the 406 drive, which is my slave.  I have OS/2 on 
the 130, DOS on the 1st partition of the 406 and now FreeBSD on the second 
partition of the 406.

Now when I attempt to boot my computer, I get a `Press any key to Reboot' 
message.

I noticed when installing FreeBSD that the terminal displayed a message:

	Warning: Calculated sectors per cylender disagree......

Would this have anything to do with my problems?  I have succesfully run 
Linux with the Lilo Boot manager, but FreeBSD is new (and seems better) to 
me.

Is there anyway to get to my FreeBSD from my boot that I used to install?

Any help would be great.  Thanks.
