 bootloader problem
Hi, everyone.

 I'm trying to install FreeBSD on my harddrive, and everything went pretty well so far, except that I can't boot on my freshly-installed system.
 On the first drive's MBR, I have the ONTRACK drive program (because of an old bios), and I actually boot Linux or Windows from a floppy on which I installed LILO.
 I tried to add a Freebsd entry in Lilo, and it went OK, but at boot time, I get :

 Not UFS
no /Kernel

default Boot :
1:ad(1,a)/kernel

boot:

My bsd partition is on /dev/hdb3 (/dev/ad1s3a)

I tried to enter 1:ad(3,a)
ad(1,3,a)
etc.

So far, nothing works.

Please help me!

Thanks

P.S : if there is a way to install the freebsd bootmanager on a floppy, that sounds OK too. But I don't know how to do this....
