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. Mike Rosnok
