yes i tried to load /boot/loader.conf but it says that there was syntax error while loading vesa module, the same problem happened with /boot/defaults/loader.conf I didnt edit /boot/loader.conf =) Is there any way I can edit those files? Im on winxp now, is there any program that can read/write fbsd partition?
