My current config is as follows:

Scsi id 0:
slice 1 - FAT filesystem (ick)
slice 2 - FreeBSD's / filesystem

Scsi id 1:
slice 1 - FreeBSD

When the machine comes up, I'm happily prompted for F1 or F2 - DOS
or BSD.  When I hit F2, the following message (which seems harmless)
comes up:

Cannot find 'boot.config'

And then it proceeds to give me the freebsd loader, and i'm into freebsd
land.

Any idea why it's printing that, and what could be done to fix it?
[And is it truly harmless? :)]

TIA,
-Chris
