    New to the BSD world

    This statement looks really stupid to me. Did you read the 8.0-BETA1 annoucement? Do you know that you can install with just disc1? Do you know that there is a few megs iso (~43 megs) for install from the net? Do you know that you just need a cd/dvd to install (if not with memstick) and then...

    New to the BSD world

    No problem You can go i386 fow now, just to start learning the os. Probably you will not need all that amount of ram on the beginning, even on a desktop system. When nvidia will release the amd64 driver you can backup your data and configurations and reinstall.

    choosing 7.2 or 8.0rc1

    If it's nothing vital, I'll recommend you to go with 8. It's pretty stable now and upgrading to the release version will be easier.

    Heavy load with apache22 (ufs state in `top`)

    Run ktrace -f ktrace.out -p pid_of_httpd & and let it run for a while (not too much as it produces huge output). Then run ktrace -C to stop tracing the process. Now you can examine the output with kdump -f ktrace.out | less

    Installing Sound

    Well, I asked to post the output. Anyway, start trying mixer from a console. In GNOME you should have an applet on the upper panel, near the clock.

    Bios virus help

    If you still think that this will help you, try searching for the procedure for your vendor/model. Try also looking for bios updates on the vendor website.

    Flash on FreeBSD

    I have the same on 8, but I'm not using it so much. I kept all the debugging options in my kernconf until they have been removed. I thought that this was increasing the freezes as I had often messages about lor running flash. Anyway if my memory is not failing I read somewhere in some ml that...

    Solved can't log in as root

    bash is not /bin/bash, it's /usr/local/bin/bash. Everything installed from ports goes in /usr/local Refer to hier To fix your system reboot in single user mode (4 on loader) or just type shutdown now, you will be asked for the shell to use, then reset the shell for root. BTW, do not use bash...

    Flash on FreeBSD

    Yes I did. It works more or less the same compared to the configuration I have for 7. Even if sometimes on 7 I get a warning about the old plugin version it never happened to me to find something which doesn't work with 9 yet. What I can see on both, is that if the system is doing something else...

    Bios virus help

    Maybe on your PC there is a sticker with the logo "Designed for FreeBSD(TM)" :) I still don't believe that the cause is a bios virus, anyway you can try resetting the CMOS. Usually this is done unplugging from AC, removing the battery on the MB, shortening a couple of pin with a jumper and...

    Or, as you have nvidia-xconfig-190.36, did you tried configuring with it? Do you have glx loaded and dri not loaded in your xorg.conf (as it should be)? Do you have something like this in xorg.conf? RgbPath "/usr/local/lib/X11/rgb" What removing it?
