newbie help, bad kernel?

2002-10-17 Thread mprime
Help I was installing from a cd and the system locked up I rebooted 
and the screen says:


 FreeBSD/i386 BOOT

Default:0:ad(0.a)/kernel
boot:

OR every other time it says something to the effect of cant load 
kernel and cant load kernel.old
type help for a list of commands.

I told the BIOS to look at the CD drive first hoping it would boot 
from the CD but that doesnt work.

The last thing I was doing before it locked up was it asked what I 
wanted my bootstrap to be full BSD or dual Win/BSD then went on to 
the install and it locked up.

Is there something I can do do start over?

ISTR having this same problem with one computer: it would prefer the
hard disk for booting no matter what the bios settings were. i
*think* i solved the problem by putting the disk into another pc,
and wiping it from there.

Thanks, I was hoping to save that as a last resort.
