Hi, I remember seeing some messages about the boot loader but the didn't seem to apply here. Preamble: We just got a cable modem in my apartment and I convinced my roomate to free up a drive and install FreeBSD 3.0-REALEASE. We natd my machine and installed through it. I was very impressed that this worked so easily (you have to run the Windows Cable-Modem software first to get the IP/gateway/DNS via DHCP, once you have theses values, the cable-modem doesn't care). Three Questions : 1: He installed on a second drive. When he boots he gets F1: ??? (or something like this) but no indication of what key to push to get to drive 2. (On the secondary IDE). Mine says F3: Disk 2 (ok, maybe not exactly and my drives on channel one). Can this be fixed/changed? 2: Also his wont boot unless you explicitly type 1:wd(2,a)kernel I was under the impression that it stored this information. 3: Final question about my machine, Why does xfree86 keep disapearing from my /var/db/pkg directory. This stops me from doing package install from /stand/sysintall. All in all, 3.0 works great (including x) and is a dream to install over a cable modem (Roger@home if you want to know).
