    I posted a message a few days ago with the subject line "Why is Freebsd
    so unstable". I've gotten Freebsd to work after i posted that message
    but now i've got another problem.

    I came home today from work and found that the computer had been turned
    off (power went out in the whole neighborhood). I turned on my computer
    and now
    i get a "Missing Operating System" message. Both Windows and linux can
    normally recover after an abrupt shutdown. Can freebsd also recover or
    do I have to re-install it every time the power goes out?
