Well, I'd suggest splitting your big partition in two, and putting /home on the other one, so that "your" stuff is separated out from the system stuff.

You need to add lines to fstab for /cdrom and /floppy.

You could have gotten everything but the question about partition setup faster by searching the FreeBSD web site before asking the question, which is *always* a recommended practice. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Unix/FreeBSD consultant, email for more information.
