subject: 2.0 REL installation A couple of days ago I wrote: >I moved my 0.5 gig to drive zero; disconnected the other hard drive. (couldn't boot off second drive) It finally dawned on me that hd(1,a)/kernel actually means wd(1,a)/kernel (cf. troubleshooting). Red face and conical hat time. Boots fine off second drive when you type the correct words. >The installation program then worked great!

When I chmod +x executables imported via ftp that weren't part of the >installation (e.g., mtools), FreeBSD-2.0 complains "command mdir not found >"(for example). Mail works, but differently than before. Regarding question 2, I (fortuitously) messed up the path in /etc/csh.login while installing X11R6 and found that all /sbin commands went unrecognized also. Moral: FreeBSD-2.0 does not recognize executables unless a /uvw/xyz/.../bin path is specified in csh and the file is there *before* login. Perhaps one may override this? So far 2.0 looks fantastic !!! I can easily mount filesystems (bsd, msdos) from all drives, cdrom included. Packages are great too !!!
