How do I install XFree86 from the 2.1.0-RELEASE CDROM after I've already installed without X? There doesn't appear to be a package and running make in /cdrom/ports/x11/XFree86 fails because it can't cd to /usr/ports/distfiles . If I reinstall with a different installation option, (I learned this the hard way) important files will be overwritten. How do I get BootEasy (or any bootmanager for that matter) to boot DOS from my 2nd IDE disk? My 1st IDE drive is all FreeBSD, 2nd is all DOS. Bootting from a DOS floppy works fine. From the booteasy menu: F5 ... DOS gives a never ending list of 040404040404... I only get 3 virtual terminals, Alt-f4 just beeps at me. When I built the kernel, I set it to 4. Even with the GENERIC kernel, which should have 12 only gives me 3. Thanks, Keith
