I did the installation from ftp and everything went smoothly. I installed the "User" distribution set (no X). When I try to boot the freshly installed system, the computer freezes right after the following lines: Automatic boot in progress... /dev/ad0s1a: FILESYSTEM CLEAN; SKIPPING CHECKS /dev/ad0s1a: clean, 70339 free (627 frags, 8714 blocks, 0.6% fragmentation) There is nothing else happening, ctrl-alt-delete won't even work, I have to power-off the machine to restart. Any help will be appreciated.
