Can u show we me the way to make installation complete. I guess you mean FreeBSD 4.4 (September 2001)? This release has nothing to do with 4.4BSD-Lite2 (June 1995). Use "uname -r" to find out your exact version. I suggest to start with a more recent release, e.g. FreeBSD 5.4 (May 2005). You'll find some information about the relation to 4.4BSD-Lite2 in this text: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/history.html The handbook (freebsd.org/handbook) is a good reference to start with FreeBSD.
