After the kernel has finished booting (and assuming you didn't run into any problems), you will be placed into the FreeBSD Sysinstall program. The first screen you see looks like Figure 2.1. Figure 2.1. The main Sysinstall menu.
You can't use the mouse in Sysinstall, but the program is easy to navigate. Table 2.1 lists the navigation keys you can use in Sysinstall.
In addition, you can also select most options by typing their highlighted letterusually the first letter in the option name. If you want to read more about using Sysinstall, you can press Enter on the highlighted option Usage, but because it will all be explained here, I suggest you press the down arrow to move to the second option and then select it to begin a standard install. After you select the Standard option, a message will inform you that you need to set up a DOS-style (fdisk) partitioning scheme for your hard disk. After you read this message, simply press Enter to continue. |
