I have plenty of room on my hard drive 1gig dos/windows and 1 gig FreeBSD so I did a full installation. During boot up, I had a few errors related to a login and password ie: (myname.my.domain) not a valid password and then the system gets stuck at the login password point and of course I did not enter a login and password during config. How can i get around this password situation so I can re-enter config. I am also concerned that I might have used a default setting during system config that I might have needed to be more specific. Help. I am also looking for a good reference book on FreeBSD. Please recommend one. I Hope to talk to you soon, Bob.
