the part with mount /dev/ad .... worked, and I may praise myself I got the 
idea before reading your mail - anyways thanks very much for your help.

one last question - call me lazy because I didn't RTFM - but the kernel stuff 
is the same like in linux - for every extra thing I need - quota support and 
other stuff - I must recompile, right ? but where are the sources ? [stupid 
question, isn't it ? :-)]

now the last thing I need to config is the X Window and I can say I got a 
fully functionable freebsd box ...

thanks again,

petre
