Hi folks.
Attempting to escape the lockup condition in PC-BSD related to screensaver, I decided to install the base BSD. But on first boot it gives up after the third attempt looking for the host, 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org. I would like to know where to go to find a resolution for this, and also I am quite bewildered why it needs to connect to an IP address in order to boot.
I am not asking for detailed instructions, just advice as to where I should go to understand this, and hopefully resolve it myself. If I need to edit a file, I would need to know where to learn how to do that from the root command prompt.
Thanks.
