Hi!

I just installed BSDI 1.1 on a PC (finally, if you saw my previous post
:-)) with IDE hard drive.  Installation seems to have gone just fine.

But when I reboot for the first time (without floppies), I get the
following message:

loading /bootwd0: hard error: sector 16 status d0 error d0
:  not found

looping ... press reset

Where did bootwd0 come from - I thought it was /boot (and that's what I
see in /).  What is going on?

I did disksetup -B wd0 and selected 1 !!!

Did anyone see this before.  Can anyone give me a clue?

Thanks,
Murthy Nyayapati
