Hello Harriet, Have you made any changes to /etc/ttys, and what does it say about ttyv8? Have you maybe tried to configure kdm?

Re: Problem installing FreeBSD 6.2 on laptop
It may be that you configured securelevel on startup. Try with "sysctl kern.securelevel" to find out which is your securelevel. It may be 1 or greater. Then try to change it either with sysinstall or directly at the command prompt with "sysctl -w kern.securelevel=-1". This should work.

X is misconfigured and it exits back to the console. If you use xdm/kdm/gdm, it will restart X. This throws you into a loop that makes the machine unusable, since you can't access the console because it's trying to switch into graphics mode all the time. Getty detects this, and freezes the console that created this for 30 secs, which gives you a chance to log in through the console and fix whatever error you have. You should check your Xorg configuration. Best regards > Thank you for your time and attention > > H Severino > > > > > Be a better Globetrotter.
