Hi there!
I'm new to the forum, as well as FreeBSD and UNIX systems. Trying to learn the hard way about this, no graphical environment yet installed. So there I go, and make a disk and install FreeBSD in a fresh disk, with the 'auto' partitioning and no problems. Thing is I got another disk, and willing to learn, did it myself. I followed(not at all properly I suppose) the instructions at freebsd.org concerning the install process and the different partitions needed to a happy installation.
Thing is that the system won't boot up, at least not like it did when I followed the short path to make the partitions.
I'd like to post a complete screen of the result of booting up, but cannot, for it is in a different computer. So, I guess it might be an important message:
/olg is an extra partition which I made just for testing purposes, in last place when attempting to install.
Any ideas? I've been trying to understand the thing, and peeked through quite a few of this posts, but I seem not to catch up. I know that a clean install would be a fast solution, but I'd really like to understand the system, how it mounts partitions and stuff (like taking away the /olg and increase the /usr).
Thanks in advance, my regards to everyone and congrats for understanding this, I think it's marvellous to be able to use a system like FreeBSD, with no graphical stuff =D
See you!
