I'm not sure, but you shouldn't need this overlay software. FreeBSD should detect the drive and probe it correctly. Only way to check is to actually do it however :-( The problem is that you need to ensure that FreeBSD is installed below the 1024th cylinder, otherwise it won't work with the default boot manager. >> 1.

I don't understand what you're trying to do. If you wish to establish a PPP connection through a dialup, read http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials/ and click on Pedantic PPP Primer. >> 2.
