Hi, I just installed FreeBSD 2.2, and I have some problems I built my own kernel successfully, but one time I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del while in # prompt. There was no response, so I rebooted the computer. When I entered FreeBSD the second time, the boot message was pretty long, containing messages like "automatic reboot", etc. Then it just froze up. I had to hit Ctrl-C to get to the login: prompt. Please help me out. I don't want to have to hit Ctrl-C every time I boot. Also can you tell me how I can access other harddrives in FreeBSD. I have one FAT harddrive that contains package and XFree86 that I want to install to FreeBSD, and I tried using the /stand/sysinstall, but it wouldn't install them for me. It said it couldn't find the file INDEX under package, but I double checked and it was there on that harddrive. I'm sure I specified the right harddrive, it was my primary slave and chose the primary drive (wd0) in the "media" submenu. It couldn't install XFree either. Is there any way that I can just access the harddrive myself and install manually? Thank you for reading my questions and I hope to see your answers soon. Sincerely Yimin Hsiao
