What partition did you label as "/"? It really should be "a". You may
be able to make it work otherwise, but "sysinstall" would be likely to
get confused.

No, it's not.  "boot" is the program you're running when you're at the

How are you getting the sets? What is the output of "fdisk wd0" and
"disklabel wd0"? You might also try mounting any other partitions you
created, to see if the files went there.
