This is the first time i am instlalling freebsd thru ftp. The computer is connected to my network which has dhcp. When you are in the /stand/sysinstall menu'ed installer program, arrow down to "Options" and press the spacebar to select. Move down to "DHCP" and press the spacebar to change from NO to YES. Then arrow down to MediaType and choose FTP and just keep the URL that is there (ftp.freebsd.org) or choose a URL that is geographically nearer to you. > How can i do a dmesg -a in install? Thank you very much I guess if you haven't gotten the OS installed yet, then nevermind my question. The menu'ed sysinstall program should be able to sense your hardware.
