    New to FreeBSD - network card install

    It does indeed look like your NIC isn't being detected (plip0 is parallel port) What's the output of dmesg | grep -i ethernet? Ignore the /etc/rc.conf for the moment, that can get configured later. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/config-network-setup.html

    New to FreeBSD - network card install

    For starters you'll probably want to post the contents of /etc/rc.conf cat /etc/rc.conf and the output of ifconfig. Anyone looking at this can then determine if your card is being detected and whether the relevant settings are correct in /etc/rc.conf

    Difficulty with user accounts

    Rebooting shouldn't be a problem. If 'mpd' persists to be a problem you could move /etc/pwd.db and try running pwd_mkdb on /etc/master.passwd again.

    Difficulty with user accounts

    A search for FreeBSD kernel debugging symbols should get you started. Sorry, pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd instead of cap_mkdb.

    Difficulty with user accounts

    Regain free space on / by removing *.symbols in your kernel directory rm -rf /boot/kernel/*.symbols If 'mpd' exists in master.passwd you could delete the entry and then cap_mkdb /etc/master.passwd before [re]installing mpd again.
