How to boot freebsd after install?

Turn the machine on.

The machine is on...
I login with my user name and password and i get this $...
then what?

What do you expect to happen on a server OS? You get a console login. That's how it works.

If you were expecting eye candy, you will have to make it happen yourself. FreeBSD is a blank canvas. Turn it into whatever you like.

PC-BSD will do that (in fact, it was created for exactly that purpose).

 

[SirDice]

Or read the handbook and install and configure KDE and/or Gnome yourself

 

[Grobar87]

If only we had a Handbook and a Forum to search. Oh well, never give up hope.
