[openbeos] Re: Getting started

Well it seems that BeOS really was trying to help with that error message.  It
turns out that the motherboard on my new computer didn't automatically enable
the hard drive I added after I got it.  I had to go into the motherboard setup
and tell it explicitly that I had added a second hard drive.

After that I used bootpart to add BeOS to the XP startup menu and was able to
boot into BeOS.

Next up.  Trying to get my Intel Pro 10/100 ethernet working.
