I have installed my box the way it does not boot. I am sending here my
disk layout.
You may ask how did i obtained that:
I could boot from cdrom into my installation, like in:
boot hd0a:/bsd
And it rocks, evreything thing went ok. What is getting losing my mind
is the fact i cannot boot directly from the disk.
Ok, the setup is here:

PLease, if some could clarify what i am doing wrong with the new
disklabel configuration that prevents me from booting ...?
There is really a puzzle for me. I could boot it from the CD (boot
hd0a:/bsd), but cannot boot directly.
