If you've already got FreeBSD up, don't use sysinstall to install
XFree86. Just ftp to ftp.cdrom.com:/put/XFree86/3.2/ and read the
README file contained there. You will need to know what VGA chip your
card sports before getting there, so you can decide which X servers to
download. Be sure to get the VGA16 server so you can run XF86Setup.
