Daniel --

Thanks for your help. It is now almost midnight here in New York, and after
many, many hours I have finally got the system working (but not configured.) I
rebuilt my kernel with the necessary modifications for my system, and now it
boots in normal, mulit-user mode.

Now, I need to configure it. When I installed BSD in the first place, I was
given a configuration option in the menuing system. I would like to go back and
use it to configure X, add users, etc. However, I don't seem to be able to do
so.

(1) If I boot off a floppy (the boot-install floppy), I can access the CD ROM
Install program with all of the configuration options -- but when I click on any
of them, nothing happens -- it just puts me right back in the same menu.
(Apparently it does not find the FreeBSD system it is supposed to manipulate.)
(2) When I boot off my system (hard drive), I cannot find the install/configure
utility, and therefore cannot run it...

Do you know the filename of the configuration/install utility? Or how I can run
it off a system already running Free BSD.

Thanks a million for all your help.
