    Hi all,

    Though not new to Unix I am new to FreeBSD. This weekend, after
    reading up
    at lenght, I have done my first installs and I found a couple of
    issues. The
    installation documentation does not always reflect the exact
    process. And
    after one install the system didn't boot, complaining about a
    missing kernel.
    Searching the FreeBSD archives and Google showed that more people
    got the
    same error over time, though no solution was provided in any of the
    forums.
    It turned out to be an issue with the drive parameters.

    Is there any place where I can send the information while it is
    still fresh
    on my mind so that future newbies will have less probs during their
    first
    installs?
