I did not set up the password for toor, taking it for granted that it is setup automatically (using the same password as root). After I delete the root password and reboot (to single user mode), I can not boot up! It says: can not find boot.config and boot.help files. On this machine I have two FreeBSD slices running FreeBSD 2.2.8. Similar things happened on another machine. I installed FreeBSD 3.1 successfully via FTP. Then I install 2.2.8 via CD-ROM. When I try to boot up from them, it says "can not find file boot.config, can not find file boot.help". (I use booteasy). I had to reinstall FreeBSD 3.1. I must have screwed up something when having two FreeBSD slices (possibly with different version of FreeBSD). But I just have no idea what I did wrong. I hope someone can get me a hint. Thanks a lot. -Zhihui To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
