I recently installed 2.1 on one of my x86 PCs. Can anyone 
point me to a direction where I can get information on the 
following problems ?  I have checked out the www.freebsd.org,
etc. but no luck so far !!

1. "sysinstall" doesn't let me add any more network 
interfaces. When I hit enter, it just returns me to the same 
menu option.  
2.  "xinit" fails to read the XF86Config file. Can't get X
to run at all.
3. "init 0" says init is already running.  Can't kill it 
either.  I have to do "shutdown now". Is this normal.

Instead of bothering others, can I just buy a book or hit a
web site that might have these answers.  Thank you.
