Ok,I'm new to both Unix and FreeBSD,but decided to take the plunge to 
learn both,Having managed to get the install working,even via the 
alpha IDE cdrom driver,the single pressing problem I have now id the 
initial login.I find I can login as 'root',but BSD tells me to log in 
as myself,and not root.Is 'root' the default super-user login name,if 
not,what is?.I assume it isn't,since I can't seem to run some 
exe's,notably sysinstall.Any help would be appreciated ;-)
