Hi all,

I have a quick question here regarding a  FreeBSD 2.0.5 system.  I
took the disk out of a different machine and put it in my home machine
that runs Linux.  I set up LILO to boot BSD, but yet when I try to
boot the disk I get the message 'no bootable partition'.  Yet if I put
the BSD boot diskette in, I can boot just fine.  Any ideas how I can
make the disk bootable again.  I tried disklabel -B wd0 to no avail...

TIA
