I'm new to FreeBSD.  After installing and booting with BootEasy, I 
logged in as root.  It said to use "su" and not root.  Then I was given 
a myname: prompt.  Nothing I typed would do anything.

Any help on this?  I also tried logging in under another account/name I 
had set up.  Same prompt/same thing.

Thanks in advance.
Craig
