1.  Emacs and Xemacs no longer work (I was using FreeBSD 2.1 before), because
they are missing a library called "libgcc.so.261.0".  I don't see this library
anywhere on the system, can I get it somewhere ? Why wasn't it installed by
default ?

2.  When I tried to recompile the kernel to add COM3, I get this error:

ld: uipc-usrreq.o: read_file_symbols(header): premature EOF
*** Error code 1

I cannot install a new kernel with this error.

3.  FreeBSD 2.1.5 does not recognize my drive 0.  It's an HP SureStore 2000
2.0 GB SCSI drive model C3725S.  It gets probed when I boot, and I have
WinDOS 95 on it, it also gets probed when FreeBSD boots it, but I cannot
mount it and the FreeBSD installation program doesn't recognize it.  So
I have to use boot floppies.
