Hi
I read your docs and this e-mail address was mentioned to send something <<I found most confusing>>
For me, most confusing are followed things
1 - first boot after installation. I performed all installation steps (either for custom/standard or quick) and was asked for reboot. After such reboot nothing has happened - my HDD does not start to boot, so my question is - how to fix this problem? I am newbie for BSD, but have installed Linux a lot - never had such problem before
2 - when I perform <<post installation step>> - configuring my mouse - it says Ok (I am using typical PS/2 Microsoft mouse), but when I install  X server, my mouse does not work well under any possible type choosen - it skips all over the display and pretend that its left button pressed (it does not)

Please, advise and help. Most I want to know, how to start up the OS, after configuration, I think I will figure out issue #2 since I will be able to boot and edit my conf files.

Thank You
Alex
