For this type of issue, it would be better if you can provide more detailed information. For example, a boot -v output from "known good" configuration. In addition, some instruction to trigger the problem you encounter would be good, as if we can reproduce your issue, we are more likely to solve it. > I am still fairly new to FreeBSD (I suppose I could be considered a > "newbie") but I have some basic programming and scripting background > from Windows and web page projects, kernel stuff is way beyond me right > now.

I did not saw your attachment :-( What do you mean by "can not boot"? If the system stops to respond during startup, you may want to post the last lines it tells you when you have "boot -v". Additionally, remember that kernel output during boot is stroed in /var/run/dmesg.boot so it will be easy to attach that file, when possible. > I am still dual booting with Windows :( and have a shared partition > (FAT32) I can dump data onto.

Additionally, if you did not installed a X Window system, you can access the web through some console based web browsers, for example, links. > PS.

You may want to ask your ISP whether they can provide you a mail relay to solve this issue.
