I rewrote this a little more:

DO use the FreeBSD web site and Usenet search engines such as                                                  
	DejaNews <URL:http://www.dejanews.com/> to search for
	information before posting.  Searching DejaNews and the FreeBSD
	mailing list archives <URL:http://www.freebsd.org/search.html>
	for your error messages can be particularly informative.         

Eivind.
