     Hi everybody!
   2 days ago I started playing with installing FreeBsd, and tonight
I already passed the step of installing binary dist. Only one thing was left,
I was so close to the finish, I even thought that I am going to go to the bed
early today, but...
   When I finished with extract of the binaries, run the configure
( on the questions about domain name I put something unimaginable), and 
mv /.profile /.profile.install, and tried to
ln /root/.profile /.profile , I discovered that system dosn't have the ln.
I didn't understand why and how, but I just
cp /root/.profile /.profile and .... typed reboot.
The system came up with a lot of complains.
   swapon : not found
   starting network
   hostname : not found
   starting system loggersyslogd : not found
   kvm_mkdb : not found
   dev_mkdb : not found
   preserving editor files
   /etc/rc : /usr/libexec/elvispreserve : not found
   clearing /tmp
   find : not found
   standard daemons: update crond/etc/rc : /usr/libexec/crond : not found
   starting network daemons : routedrouted : not found
   print erlpd : not found
   sendmailsendmail : not found
   inetdinetd : not found    
   name : not found
   sed : not found
   starting local daemons:
   date : not found

And then endless
   init FATAL error: console : Interrupted system call


   What could it be? I am very new to UNIX.
   I would appreciate very much , if somebody will help me - I don't have
any clues.
      Thanks,
