I had no troubles with the FTP install (a nifty thing!), but now, when I
go to start the machine on its own, it boots up with this:
Default: F?
F! . . . BSD
and that's as far as I can get... hitting F1, it just repeats itself,
and I can't figure out the magic incantation to boot! :(
Please email me as my newsfeed can sometimes be very slow.
Thanks!
