Hiya


Having taken advantage of CPC's 44GBP bare-bones PC offer, I set about
installing NetBSD on it so I could play about with networking it with my
Linux/BeOS/AmigaOS systems.

Although the installation went just fine, when it got to the 'remove the
floppy disk and reboot' thing, all I got was a 'Missing operating system'
message from the BIOS.  The only way I can get it to boot is to use
the installation floppy, set the device to wd0: and tell it to boot from the
hard drive kernel - a bit of a pain.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?  Also, is there
a way to reinstall a boot block on my hard drive?

The system is an Escom 486 board with a dx4 100, 24 megs of memory
a bog-standard 520 Meg harddrive and an Award BIOS.

Thanks for any help
