I recently installed freeBSD 2.0 and everything seemed to go ok. However I am a complete novice to unix -like OS and I do not have a manual yet. I don't know how to access anything other than the partition on my hard drive on which freeBSD is installed. I am also in the process of reorganizing my hard drives and I removed for the time being the freeBSD operating system. I cannot remove the Boot system. It does not seem to cause a problem however I would like to know if there is a way of removing it easily. I have completely reformatted (not low level format) and partitioned the drive. It is still there. Any help would be appreciated. It looks like an interesting OS and I do want to learn more of unix-like systems and this looks a good one to practice with and learn. I was especially impressed with how it correctly found and set up all the peripheral devices I have attached ( except the printer). Thanks for the system and anyu help you can provide.
