I have a couple of questions. 1.) What is the "distribution" referred to in Item 1 of the instructions? 2.) Where do I get the files that are contained in the minimal filesystem outlined in Item 2b of the instructions? 3.) What is the recommended method for breaking before the loader boots the kernel in Item 2b of the instructions? [0] http://people.freebsd.org/~grehan/install.html Thanks, -- Barry C.
