did you get the window that says: "congradulations you have sucessfully installed FreeBSD" ? that window is what you want to shoot for. There will be a snafu or two if you're installing 4. and the references are 3.0. I Used several references while I was installing in addition to the book. Here are some links of install helpers: http://www.ccp14.ac.uk/solution/bsdunix/index.html [good] http://courses.cs.vt.edu/~cs1206/Spring00/Unix-Install.html#UNIX [clear] http://www.tfug.org/helpdesk/freebsd/bsdnewbie.html [THIS IS VER 2.X.X but helps] http://www.apana.org.au/FreeBSD/FreeBSD_Tutorial/ [This is "minimalist" but GREAT help] If you kind of synthesize all this info w/the book and the .org info you'll eventually make the correct turns at each descision tree.
