Yep, FreeBSD installs very quickly... http://www.freebsd.org/handbook is where you find info on how to install it. Though the first time I installed, just after 2.2.6 came out, I didn't read any instructions at all. :) > I was able to access root and do teh usual Unix commands etc but then I > tried to get back on a few days later and now it tells me ."no disk > found"...please verify that your disk controller is being properly probed at > boot time.......see hardware guide on document menu for clues on diagnosing > this type of problem..." Ok, do you have IDE, SCSI? What kind of drives? Do you know what kind of controller you've got? Have you checked all the hardware connections? Everything nice and tightly plugged in?
