1. when I run startx it auto logs me in on a minimal gui ( twm?). I installed

answer, or I didn't read it right. How can I su to root from my account?
Is there anything special to able to do that from ssh?
I can't answer question #1.
As for #2, you need to add your username to the "wheel" group in
/etc/group. That's all. (You will have to log out then back in for the
changes to take effect)
3. the boot loader... This server has 2 drives, and I already had w2k server
on drive 1, and ubuntu-server on drive 2. when I boot, I now get options for
F2-DOS ( win2k boots) and F5 disk0/1. I can't seem to find any option for my
ubuntu OS. Is there a way to change that bootloader option to
add /dev/sdb6-ubuntu?
I think boot0cfg is the tool you'll want to use for this. I've never
been in this situation, so I don't have a command to give you. You can
use boot0cfg -v <disk> (e.g. boot0cfg -v ad0) to get information about
the boot0 configuration.
maybe I was looking in the wrong documentation, if any/all of this is in the
docs, which one? the handbook?
Yes.
Paul,
Regarding question #1 just take a look at the FreeBSD Handbook, namely
Chapter 5 "The X Window System" under section 5.7.1.2.

Ricardo Jesus.
