1) Your primary IDE drive is /dev/wd0. The slices are
referenced as /dev/wd0s1, /dev/wd0s2 etc.

2) I'm fighting my own *@&^#$@^#%@ battle with sound on
FreeBSD.

3) You can use xdm to give you a graphic logon screen. If
you're using KDE it has a manager called kdm. Edit the file
/etc/ttys. Look under the heading "Virtual Terminals. ttyv8
should reference xdm. To activate, change the word "no" to
"yes". Then reboot. man xdm to see what files have to be
modified. When you're in X, if you want to get to a standard
screen, use CTRL-ALT-F*, F* being F2 through F8 (F! was used
to activate xdm). To get back to the X screen, use ALT-F9.
