no /boot/loader - after installation

[John Clement]

I'm installing 6.1 on an HP Vectra VL420, I've been in the BIOS to set the
C/H/S as per what the install reports (I've tried an 80GB Seagate and a
250GB WD), the install all seems to go fine.  I've tried the FreeBSD boot
manager, a standard MBR and even setting the disk as dedicated, but
regardless I end up with the same 'no /boot/loader' when it reboots.

I suspect (and hope) I'm making a simple mistake, I just haven't seen this
happen before.

Thanks in advance!!
