That did the trick! Thank you very much!

So far I am quite pleased with PC-BSD. The installation took me less than half 
an hour, the graphical installation is quite nice (even though it should 
mention somewhere that you MUST install FreeBSD on a primary partition) and 
PC-BSD booted fine, recognized my soundcard and came up with a nice KDE3.4. 
The only thing I had to do was change the resolution and the driver (vesa is 
not a good idea if you have an ATI card) in XF86Config.

The next thing I have to do is to get the network working (actually I have an 
ISDN router, so this should not be a big deal). And then I should probably 
start reading the nice handbook:-)

Greetings,
Michael
