I have a system running 5.0-RELEASE on an AMD 667Mhz processor with 256MB ram, Soyo mobo. Install was no trouble, and setup of X, KDE, MySQL, Apache went fine. I ran a setup of both xmms and mplayer as well. Then I went for an install of Webmin. Once webmin was complete, I was running in KDE, I closed the term window and the machine rebooted immediately, no shutdown, nothing. Question, does this sound like a bad drive, RAM, or perhaps my bad luck. Second question, how can I address the mountroot> prompt? Per the instructions at the prompt, I put in ufs:/dev/ad0s1a and hit the return key. The system then reboots. Thanks Bob
