>Organization:
Southwest Systems Development Labs
>Environment:

	486DX2/66 8MB   Hard disk IDE Connor CFS420A

>Description:

	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.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install FreeBSD 2.0-ALPHA using a new hard disk (no MBR previously
	installed)

>Fix:
	
	Not sure ... sounds like a problem in the fdisk program during
	installation.
