i visited pcbsd forum but those guys did not elaborate the significance of this error

secondly, i will like to check my install by installing grub legacy temporarily and removing it later, how do i do that.

Lightbulb Install verification
I used Linux live CD (i am not familiar with bsd commands as yet) and got dmesg | grep bsd, it shows BSD at [ 3.382107] sda3:<BSD:bad sub-partition -ignored.

i checked with gpartd as well it shows some information on potential errors or inability to read ufs.

i am not sure how do i verify my install without logging, have not installed BSD boot manager. Prior to install the disk verified all components in it and didn't return any error.

if you can could you please let me know in plain simple redneck English what needs to be done to verify the stuff.

Lightbulb Update
I installed opensuse with its grub on top of windows and bsd. Added bsd to grub menu list, it took me to bsd log in screen and on entering 1 it took me to console, it asked for getting uname -a, which didnt return any error. i dont know how to elaborate it further. wish to see screen when i boot up.

secondly, how do i halt the system from freebsd console, in linux we do 'sudo halt' or 'sudo reboot' for shutting it down.

Can you be more specific what you want to elaborate further? By wishing to see a screen,
i presume you mean a splash screen? Take a look here

I get to see boot options and that takes me to console. Right now I logged in single user mode without any kde stuff.

tried to halt the system by 'shutdown -p', it returned an error saying read only file system.

You have installed FreeBSD with a PCBSD install disk. I am not familiar
with this method. Did this install FreeBSD + KDE or only the base system?
If you are not sure please do "pkg_info |grep kde" at the console and check it.

Nothing. The 9 options you see only if you boot the PCBSD Livecd.

Thanks mate, I guess it installed the base system or kernel only. I have install disk of freebsd 8.0. What do I do to build around it.

Next I get partition error saying the boundry of BSD partitions do not end where they are meant to be. how do i resolve that error.

It's the best you take a look at the Handbook covering "Desktop Environments".

Here you can check other wm's

And here more reading:
FreeBSD Handbook
FAQ
Articles
or maybe documentation in your native language
But the docs in english are the most up to date.

The error messages you mentioned need more detail.
Best if you could post the exact content of the section
or the whole dmesg.

OK, checked it. Have no kde installed. What should I do now.

The partition table error is strange, will make a different thread for it and see what i can do to resolve that.

I am in bsd atm thru option 1 from splash. have disks as well.

Well, I did # cd /usr/ports/x11/kde4 & # make install clean, its now fetching sources.

This is cool, loving it now.

Thanks everyone.

Post the error and the messages leading up to it. Error 1 is just a generic error.

jewsofeast, you really need to start formatting your posts, because commands and output look messy without proper formatting: http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=8816

Other than that: simply install PCBSD, which is FreeBSD + KDE pre-installed. If that's what you want, and don't know how to do it yourself, go with PCBSD.

Well, I installed PC BSD twice but got some error. During my third install I selected FreeBSD to see how that works. I have a multiboot system with windows and two linux in it. If someone just help me with lo0 and other things, i will be able to get things working on it.
