First I would like to appologize if this was the wrong email address to send my question to.  I am having a problem installing PC-BSD.  I purchased installation cd's from Free BSD Mall.  Whenever I attempt to install to my laptop, I get the following error message:

can't exec getty '/user/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv0:  no such file or directory

I know nothing about computers.  The package I purchased came with two cd's.  I've tried switching to the second cd at the point where the error message occurs and that didn't work.  What am I doing wrong and what should I do to fix the problem.  If it helps, I'm trying to install PC-BSD on an old Compaq Armada which is currently running windows 98.  Again, I'm sorry if this email is sent to the wrong address.
