Hi there, I'm coming from the Linuxland and I'm completely new to FreeBSD ;-) This week-end, I've "installed" the 5.0-RELEASE for ia64 and have a few questions (I've created a 110MB EFI slice on my second HDD (da1s1a) and a FreeBSD on the space left (da1s2a)): - where are the packages located? I get a missing packages/INDEX error if I choose a distribution set other than Minimal. Is it normal? - how can I tell the loader it is ran from the second hard disk? It wrongly assumes that it is ran from fs0: and then can't find the kernel if I don't install it on da0s1a. I've tried to write a custom /boot/loader.conf with no success (which variables must be set, using the fs<x>: or disk<x>s<y>a or da<x>s<y>a formalism?) - at boot time, I must explicitly enter ufs:da1s2a to start FreeBSD. Why can't it starts by itself? - will the nVIDIA FreeBSD drivers compile on the ia64 platforms? Thank you.
