When the machine starts to boot, you get a message to press a key to stop the boot (it's been a while since I rebooted, so I can't remember the exact message). When you hit a key, you get a boot: prompt you should then be able to get up with boot -s to boot and fix this. > As i wanted to install Linux or a compatible (convenient) > graffic interface i did the following : > > $ls /compat > linux > $linux > Linux driver already loaded > /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig: can't create /etc/ld.so.cache~ > (Permission denied) > $ > > Could you explain me what i have to do ? Linux is a kernel, not a graphic interface. You probably want to install XFree86. You can either install this at install time or from ports by doing cd /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 make install > To finish with : once bsd was fully installed and bootable > i couldn't use the cdrom anymore to load the additional > packages from cd 3 and cd 4. How do you mean that you could not use the cdrom? When you insert a cd, can you mount the cdrom device (mount /cdrom) ? What error do you receive ? -- - Wayne Pascoe - http://www.penguinpowered.org.uk/wayne/ Win if you can. Lose if you must. But always cheat!
