It turned out that I had chosen the US -ISO-Unix keyboard. The Unix keyboard does a caps lock when you hit the left ctrl button. Bad for typing in a password. Anyhow, I reinstalled cause I had nothing to lose and practice makes perfect you see, I chose the US-ISO keyboard and stayed away from the unix one. Just thought I'd throw that in. Choose your keyboard properly. Sincerely, ______________________________ Jack J.

The problem I', experiencing is that when I boot to FreeBSD, I dual this machine, when I get to Login and password, it doesn't recognize my login name and password? Now I have reloaded (re-installed) several time already, and I've written down the login name and password? I've even tried several different names with different pw? Any suggestions??? Would very much appreciate your support with this problem. Oh by the way, before I installed this OS I read the Complete FreeBSD, by Greg Lehey. Not completely however I've read the first seven chapters and then some. I'm not ready to through the bay out with the bath water, I want this OS system running on my computer. Which is a MICRON Millennium I purchased last year.
