Hi all:

I  am trying to install freebsd2.2 on my laptop(TOSHIBA T4700cs) via net. I
don't have any probelm to boot up and download the OS from ftp.freebsd.org,
but it will not boot after everything is done; it shows nothing except error
message "Read error" on the left top of the screen. Looks like it could not
find boot sector. It confuses me since I did not encounter any problem during
the installation.

Any idea what is wrong? Thanks in advance.

Ming
