Congratulations! Your installed FreeBSD system is waiting for your commands!
It is pretty common to be confused at this point if you're new to unix.
(When I first reached this point I reinstalled, numerous times :-)
Go to the www.freebsd.org site, follow the "Newbies" link, and read
there to see what's available and where to go from this point.
Your question is a typical question for freebsd-newbies. Here we point
you to documentation and other ways to get info and support, help you
to ask support questions more effectively on the freebsd-questions
list, offer advice whenever you think that your newbie needs aren't
being met by the resources you've found, and listen to your suggestions
for improvement. We also chat newbie to newbie about nontechnical
stuff, too. Because this is a newbies-only (almost) discussion list,
you should not believe any technical advice you're given on -newbies!
For actual support, problems, installation and how-to questions, write
to freebsd-questions@freebsd.org instead. You don't have to subscribe
to freebsd-questions first.
You're at the most exciting stage now.
Do come back and let us know how you got on!
