Help autobooting FreeBSD 4.2 |

Hi everyone,
I searched the mail archives but could not find an
answer. My FreeBSD 4.2 box won't boot correctly
because my BIOS is not passing the boot device
in the register that boot1.s is expecting. (Gateway
2000 GP6-266).
I installed the latest grub from the FreeBSD package
and create a grub boot floppy. Now I want to either
have the system boot automatically from the HD or
from the floppy.
As I was following the info page instructions for HD
install, I wasn't sure if I should install into the
MBR or the boot sector. I created the HD with the
"dangerously dedicated" option. Also, I want it
to boot using the kernel /boot/loader option for
FreeBSD.
If someone has experience doing this and can give
me a quick "how-to", I'd appreciate it. I'm in a
time crunch on this box and have about two days
before it goes from testing to production.
Regards,
Doug
