I'm a NetBSD newbie and just installed 2.0 on an old Pentium 133MHz
machine with a Fujitsu MPC3084AT hard disk (8.5 MB, 1027
cylinders). The installation uses just the first 1024 cylinders to
avoid potential problems with the BIOS.

When booted from hd, the bootloader reports "Error L". However, if I
insert the NetBSD cdrom and boot from it (pressing a key before NetBSD
starts from the cdrom and typing "boot hd0a:netbsd") everything seems
to work fine.

How can I fix the hd bootloader?

Is this behavior an indication of some other problem with the hd?
