I prefer to leave my windows parition alone. If you have a FreeBSD slice that does not end at a cylinder boundary the label editor won't work correctly if one entry is "*". dhclient did not work: On a console I got: # dhclient em0 chroot exiting. # A strange sidemark: If I am booting from the installer cd em0 is working, If booting from harddisk (even with the installer cd kernel) em0 complains about checksum errors. :/ > As with the previous Beta release there are three virtual consoles > available: > * ttyv0: The front end > * ttyv1: The back end > * ttyv2: A standard login screen to login as root with no password Would be nice to have either more ttys with root shell or "screen" on the cd so I could that for more shells (starting logins on other screens works but is uncomfortable).
