You need to add the correct support to your kernel. Configure it under 'Input devices' in visual userconfig. You'll get visual userconfig by typing '-c' at the Boot: prompt, and then typing 'visual'. > I have a lot of questions to ask that I need help, but I feel that I may depend > on you.

The right thing to do with questions at this level is to mail them to questions@freebsd.org. > The complete FreeBSD book does not have step on step installation and it contains > many topics.
