Dos on one partition and bsd on the other. that part seems to work ok. upon logging on the system says to type /stand/sysinstall. this does not work from either the $ or # prompt. i tried to change the permissions on sysinstall and the system says that my file system is read only. Help. I just want to get this thing working so that I can play with unix. Paul To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
