Unbeknownst to me, I interupted a system update that was in progress (Kernel + others) and proceded to install Thunderbird. When the iBook was rebooted it wouldnt load its GUI. Thanks to the FreeBSD knowledge I have gained from this and other groups plus my own usage of FreeBSD i was able to troubleshoot and solve the problem. Rebooted into 'Safe Boot' and reinstall the update package after I read the log to see that an update to I/O was causing an I/O read error on startup. Again many thanks to the BSD community.
