Description gil 1994-11-13 12:50:01 UTC
	A brand new IDE drive does not appear to get a MBR when using
	FreeBSD fdisk during installation.  OS can be booted using the
	floppy boot disk if the wd(0,a)/kernel is specified as the boot
	path.

Fix: 

Not sure ... sounds like a problem in the fdisk program during
	installation.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Install FreeBSD 2.0-ALPHA using a new hard disk (no MBR previously
	installed)
