Hi there,

I'm coming from the Linuxland and I'm completely new to FreeBSD ;-)

This week-end, I've "installed" the 5.0-RELEASE for ia64 and have a few
questions (I've created a 110MB EFI slice on my second HDD (da1s1a) and
a FreeBSD on the space left (da1s2a)):
- where are the packages located? I get a missing packages/INDEX error
if I choose a distribution set other than Minimal. Is it normal?
- how can I tell the loader it is ran from the second hard disk? It
wrongly assumes that it is ran from fs0: and then can't find the kernel
if I don't install it on da0s1a. I've tried to write a custom
/boot/loader.conf with no success (which variables must be set, using
the fs<x>: or disk<x>s<y>a or da<x>s<y>a formalism?)
- at boot time, I must explicitly enter ufs:da1s2a to start FreeBSD. Why
can't it starts by itself?
- will the nVIDIA FreeBSD drivers compile on the ia64 platforms?

Thank you.

	M
