Greetings all... I have just bought that 5.1 box set from BSDMall. I have been able to install the 5.1 BSD OS, however, when I start it after I have installed it, the screen gets to a section that says, "Configuring syscons: blanktime.". What does this mean, and why does the boot continue to the login screen? My computer just hangs, and I can type 5 million lines if I want, but nothing ever happens, and the harddrive is never pinged after that message indicated above. One other thing, "If my hard drive is not even getting written to, as per the lack of any lights flashing, then how the heck can I write anything to the screen? I am not femiliar with hardware designs and the miriad of information involved with how my keyboard>mem>screen process works. Any help would be appreciated... -- Respectfully, Martes G.W.
