Ahoy. I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a 486 to use as a router. The BIOS has a 2 gig limitation for hard drive, which is apparent because it automatically detects my 13 gig drive as a 2 gig. So after installing the base system and rebooting, it says it cannot find the kernel. I know what you're probably thinking, but it's not the issue. The computer is FreeBSD only, so the partition covers the whole drive. Then the slice for / is on the first gig of the drive. Then I have a small swap, /var, and the rest is /usr. My kernel must be within the 2 gig limitation of the BIOS. The default it's searching for is 0:ad(0,a)/kernel which seems correct to me. (I wish the boot loader would use the same scheme that's in /dev.) The machine has only one hard drive which is the primary master. I haven't changed that nor the partition table since installation. I cannot figure out why it can't find my kernel. Any help is appreciated.
