I've just installed FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 with a bit of frustation. (just a bit)
1) Xfree86 2.1.1 says it won't load MIT-SHM extention because the kernel
   doesn't support it. Is there anyway I can get a kernel with support,
   since shared-memory is very essential in my programs.

2) Is there something like dip so I don't have to use kermit to connect?
   Is tip what I can use? 

3) Related, when I put "set line tty01" in kermit, it always pauses indefinately.
   I usually cntr-c out of it and other lines works fine, but it's a bit
   annoying.

4) I have Mitsumi FX001D drive. kernel seem to (I have stock ah stock)
   recognize at boot, but I can't mount it. I tried mount, mount_isofs,
   mount_mfs with no avail.

5) I've installed bindist and srcdist. Srcdist doesn't seem to have much source,
   and especially, where is the kernel source and recompile/reconfigure docs?

6) I've downloaded secrdist. Is this needed?

Hopefully, that is it for now.
