Hi!
I am not a expert in FreeBSD, but I will try to answer as far as
I
know.
To start heretic without sound, you can direct /dev/dsp to
/dev/null.
You won't hear sound for the time being, but you can play the game.
My Yamaha OPL3SA ISA card works perfectly. Don't have any problems
while configuring it.
To play the audio cd you need to install a software to play it. e.g.
cdplay. You can mount the CD in GNOME, for that you should have the
permission to run mount. to check whether you can, try from console
mount /cdrom. Primarily only root can mount. TO allow others to mount,
you should give the SUID to mount.
Try installing XFree86 from 1st CD. Maybe your 4th CD has some
problems. To install through ports, you should have the
source(installaiton file) in /usr/ports/distfiles. If they are not
there, it tries to download it from internet for you.
You can find the applications in following paths.
/usr/sbin,/sbin,/bin,/usr/bin,/usr/games,/usr/local/bin,/usr/X11R6/bin.
If you want to search all the binary files, then try appfinder
in kde.
Regards,
