I have FreeBSD 2.0 on CD from Walnut Creek.  My CD Rom is IDE, rather than 
SCSI, so I had to transfer the files from CD to a DOS partition on the disk, 
and then install from there.  Now, I'm trying to add more applications 
(XFree86-3.1, etc).  I read in one of the docs that was on the disk that I type 
/sbin/pkg_add to add more packages.  When I do this I get the fdisk/disklabel 
screen, but when I hit P to proceed, it just goes back to my shell.  I am 
doing this as su.


Also, I am looking for some good BSD system administration books.  I have had 
university unix accounts for a few years now, but I haven't had any experience 
on the administrative end.  I managed to get FreeBSD on my DX2, alongside DOS 
and OS/2, but I can't seem to figure anything out with it.  Any suggestions 
would be appreciated.
