Problems booting

[David LeCount]

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.
