> > Hi, > I have installed FreeBSD 4.0 on my PC Not specifically an answer to your question, but, is there a reason you are attempting a new install of such an old version of FreeBSD? If not, I would suggest installing V 4.8. You should have not trouble installing things from /usr/ports or packages if you start with the recent version. ////jerry I did boot from CDROM, but in the "Media" I had to put "DOS", cause my PC refuses > to install everything from CDROM (may be not of supported type). So, I copied whole > CDROM to C>/FREEBSD, and I used DOS partition for install.
