As soon as the first install box appeared, I switched to ttyv3(?) where root was logged in. Before selecting keyboard model. I use grub at the console to choose the system to boot and I login at a console prompt. In my .bash_profile, I startx. I use TWM because it is least intrusive. I use emacs in an xterm for development. I have a multi-os system. sata6g_1 HD0 SSD ubuntu 18.04 sata6g_2 HD1 WD5000 Ubuntu 18.04 sata3g_3 HD2 WD5000 windows 7 - not used sata3g_4 HD3 WD5000 empty - this is where I tried to install FreeBSD sata3g_5 HD4 WD5000 windows 7 secondary plex- not used sata3g_6 DVD DRW-24B3LT sata6g_E1 (empty) sata6g_E2 (empty) After starting bsdinstall on ttyv3(?), I chose the automatic layout. OK, that does not seem to be a reasonable way to go. I will download the DVD set. Is it possible that I get reasonable USB 3.0 support from the full DVD rather than the net install? What do I need to do to avoid scribbling on sata6g_1 HD0? That contains grub. Tom Dean
