    Indeed, I was missing those messages, and was able to incorporate that
    information once I was aware of it. If you're not running X, is there a
    way to get the screen to scroll upwards? When I was running XFCE4, the
      terminal also did not have scroll bars.

    I will be doing a fresh install after I get something to eat. I will
    start over from scratch. Currently I have a lot more info, but now my
    FBSD machine simply reboots when I run VMWARE.

    thx!
