Hello,

 	I was having a problem on my pws433au where it wouldn't boot up 
freebsd 5.3/5.4-beta1, and I read about moving the ISP Qlogic SCSI card to 
the 64-bit PCI slots instead so I did that and was able to boot and 
install freebsd 5.3 so that's good.

 	My problem now is that when I try to boot from the SCSI disk where 
it was installed I get the error "can't open file /boot/loader". In my 
researching I only found a suggestion that the / slice had to be the first 
one on the SCSI disk and it doesn't work having something else being the 
first slice (like swap). This isn't the case though because / is the first 
slice...

 	Does anyone have any idea how I can correct this error, or 
possibly some other ideas on what may cause this issue? Or does anyone 
know where I can get a fixit image for my miata?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
~Rich O.
