Here's some questions that I haven't found any documentation on.

How do I install XFree86 from the 2.1.0-RELEASE CDROM after I've
already installed without X?  There doesn't appear to be a package
and running make in /cdrom/ports/x11/XFree86 fails because it can't
cd to /usr/ports/distfiles .  If I reinstall with a different
installation option, (I learned this the hard way) important files
will be overwritten.

How do I get BootEasy (or any bootmanager for that matter) to boot
DOS from my 2nd IDE disk?  My 1st IDE drive is all FreeBSD, 2nd is
all DOS.  Bootting from a DOS floppy works fine.  From the booteasy
menu: F5 ... DOS gives a never ending list of 040404040404...

I only get 3 virtual terminals, Alt-f4 just beeps at me.  When I
built the kernel, I set it to 4.  Even with the GENERIC kernel, which
should have 12 only gives me 3.

Thanks,
Keith
