> > Hi, > I have installed FreeBSD 4.0 on my PC Not specifically an answer to your question, but, is there a reason you are attempting a new install of such an old version of FreeBSD? If not, I would suggest installing V 4.8. You should have not trouble installing things from /usr/ports or packages if you start with the recent version. jerry I did boot from CDROM, but in the "Media" I had to put "DOS", cause my PC refuses > to install everything from CDROM (may be not of supported type).

Did you read the ports section of the handbook? http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html With something as old as FreeBSD 4.0, you're going to have trouble installing anything not already on your CD, as that software is getting rather old. You'll find the easiest way to install packages is to throw in your CD, run /stand/sysinstall and choose CD-ROM as the media. If your CD-ROM doesn't work at all under FreeBSD, you'll have to find the .tgz file that contains the package you want and manually install it using the pkg_add command. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

So in your /etc/fstab should look something like this /dev/ad1s1d /backupufs rw 2 2 Please change /dev/ad1s1d according to your drive name.

post-installation problem
Hi, I have installed FreeBSD 4.0 on my PC I did boot from CDROM, but in the "Media" I had to put "DOS", cause my PC refuses to install everything from CDROM (may be not of supported type). So, I copied whole CDROM to C>/FREEBSD, and I used DOS partition for install. Everything went O.K. I configured and installed my new kernel, system did boot with no problem, but now, when I'd like to install something from Packges (like shells or less), I get only a message that it was impossible to find and get system distribution files. I tried to fetch packages and from DOS and from existing FreeBSD file system (I copied whole disk in /usr/FREEBSD), but it doesn't work.I can not install any program.
