Hello,
I am following Chapter 6. The X Window System [1] to install Xorg into my box.
I have installed the xorg package with "pkg install xorg" as the
handbook explains, but HAL service procedure is giving error:
'
service hald start
hald does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d)
'
I believe you should add a note for those users that install binary
xorg (using pkg) should also add 'HAL' using 'pkg'
# pkg install hal
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...

The process will require 17 MiB more space.

After HAL installation, everything works like the handbook
# service hald start
Starting hald.
Thank you
