I set the first partition as active. bootxx_fat16 is doing its magic
loading /boot. However, once in the boot loader, I can't find a working
path to the kernel.
I had a similar problem, which went away when I added a disklabel
(in the space between the MBR and the start of the FAT partition).
disklabel -I -e sd0 to save a hard copy of the fabricated disklabel worked fine. Thanks Alan! This isn't alluded to anywhere in the documentation though. I'm not convinced it should be necessary either...
