To All;

I just created the disk for FreeBSD and got my other laptop to boot up under FreeBSD.  I need some help in accessing the hard drive and the cdrom.  I tried to create a directory for the CDROM and the hdd1.  Then tried to mount using those directories.  It did not access my hard drive or the cdrom.  The question is what do I need to do to gain access to these two drives?

Also does anyone out there have the source code and makefile for vi?  That is the editor I have used on other Unix systems.  You may have guessed that I was not a root super user :-)

Thanks to all for your help.
