It should just happen by default; perhaps there is a problem scanning for
device or something.
If you could be a little more specific about the message, it would be a big
help.
Note that ^c will probably break you out of the loop, regardless of the
cause, until a proper fix can be applied.

You should not have to make anyting to make the installed OS complete; if you
want to rebuild a kernel, see the hand book chapter on that.
But a standard install will install the full source if you tell it you want
the kernel source installed. During the standard install you tell it what
sort of install distribution you want; you perhaps picked minimal? That will
give you a truly minimal install, no source for rebuilding the system. It is
possible to run a system that way.
| 3) If drivers are compiled onto the kernel itself,do kldunload/kldload have
| any
|
| relevance at all?
No.
| I have an intel Network card and it does not ping/connect
| even if I
| do a kldload.Only when I reboot,it gives me the connectivity?why is
| this?How do I
| remove the drivers already built into the kernel?
Is it really unable to connect to the device? What does ifconfig show?
You sure you don't just need a new dhclient or whatever?
| 4)where do I find the kernel prints log?where does the kernel print to as
| /var/log/messages in Linux?what are these kernel prints?are they printk?
They go to /var/log/messages.
All of your symptoms suggest that something went significantly screwy on your
install.
You might want to re-install and try to jot down the choices you made, or at
least copy the exact messages you are or aren't getting. This would give us
a fighting chance of providing useful help.
