Well, in fact, when I install I ignore the list of probes unless there is something that I need which is incorrectly configured. > - if I say Yes I get a white square in the top left corner of the > screen > - if I say No, the process keeps booting off the cdrom and I then > install all the packages I don't really understand what you mean by that. > reboot and it can not configure itself because it tries to load > all the drivers. This is definitely a misassumption. > How can I get the configuration file to write to the hard Drive ? You need to explain in terms that we can understand. FreeBSD doesn't load drivers, they're part of the kernel. If a driver doesn't find its device, it says so and forgets about it. That's not a problem. If you're worried about the messages, don't.
