Dear FreeBSD,
I tried all of your advice except re-stalling the system. It didn't work. I am reluctant to re-install the system because I had to download it over the internet. We have a slow 14.4 modem, so it took me over 18 hours just to download it. Please, is there any alternatives? I'm relitively new to FreeBSD, but I would love to try it out and and weary of another huge download. I installed FreeBSD 3.0 on my actual second hard drive, the primary slave drive to be exact. The FreeBSD partition is the third partition. I need all the help I can get.
