Sorry to be a nuisance.

I've tried to install freebsd three times now.  Each time remounting the
drive (a dedicated hard drive of its own) and reformating with dos.  Then
using use entire drive, etc.  I can get the installed menu up and get
myself in as add newuser.  But then I cannot get a prompt.
I boot with the boot disk in the floppy drive.  On one install I acutally
got boot manager to come up.  But then I had no login or password to use
sustem.  arrgh!

I have a serious commitment to learning UNIX but cannot get past what
seems to be very basic issues.  Are there any gurus in the Washington DC
area that you know of??

thanks
