Well, I did it!  I removed Linux and got FreeBSD 2.0.5 installed and 
running!  Now I have a few Q's that I can't seem to find answers to.

	1) How do I keep the syslog messages from being echo'd to my
           screen?

	2) Why do I have to put ./ infront of commands in my current
	   dir that aren't in my path?

	3) How do I get more virtual terminals?  When I compiled the
	   kernel, it said 16, but I only get 3.

	4) I compiled in floppy tape support, and it gets recognized
	   at boot time, but when I try to use mt, it says something
	   like device not configured.

	5) Are there any docs for the cern-httpd?  Or is there another
	   one that compiles easily for FreeBSD?

Many thanks to anyone who helps me! ;)
