Please let me add my "yea Verily" to that last comment! I just spent $100 on
the books from 0'Reily so i could RTFM. also their TCP/IP Manager' ... and
even their linux on book on networking. Let me recommend the last two for
first timers and people like me that are "dumber than a box of rocks".
        In that vein, has anyone seen a real good description of the Boot:
command that comes up when booting? maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

        Let me also thank everyone associated with creating FreeBSD!
I really appreciate the work you are doing!
