Can't boot

[Phil Thomson]

Hi all,

Just installed FreeBSD on a Pentium 150 I found in the garbage (!), and it 
seems the installation went fine, but I cannot boot. I had to use the boot 
floppies to start the installation, so I used those to boot from to try 
and figure out how to configure the boot options in sysinstall, but I had 
no luck. I tried using the fixit floppy, but I don't understand how to 
find the hard drive or what I would do when I got there (I'm kind of a 
newbie to FreeBSD). The "holographic shell" didnt work (no shell came up 
at all). I can't currently rescue from a CD as I did a network install 
from floppies. What is the next step?
