Important: 預設的情況下,安裝過程並不會改變您磁碟機中的任何資料,除非您看到下面的訊息:
Last Chance: Are you SURE you want continue the installation? If you're running this on a disk with data you wish to save then WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE PROPER BACKUPS before proceeding! We can take no responsibility for lost disk contents!在看到這最後的警告訊息前,您都可以隨時離開安裝程式而不會變更您的硬碟。 如果您發現有任何設定錯誤,這時您可以直接將電源關掉而不會造成任何傷害。
在一開始,電腦電源開關是關閉的。
打開電腦電源開關。剛開始的時候,它應該會顯示進入系統設定選單或 BIOS 要按哪個鍵,常見的有: F2, F10, Del 或 Alt+S。(按鍵請依據實際情況決定)不論是要按哪個鍵,請按它進入 BIOS 設定畫面。有時您的電腦可能會顯示一個圖形畫面,通常做法是按 Esc 鍵將離開這個圖形畫面,以使您能夠看到必要的設定訊息。
找出可以設定『開機順序(Boot Order)』的選項,通常該選項會列出一些設備讓您選擇,例如︰ Floppy, CDROM, First Hard Disk 等等。
如果要用軟碟安裝,請確定 floppy disk 要列為開機順序的第一個;若要用光碟安裝,記得 CDROM 要列為開機順序的第一個。為了避免疑惑,請參考機器、主機板說明手冊。
儲存設定並離開,系統應該會重新啟動。
用磁片安裝,請把在 Section 2.2.7一節中製作好的 kern.flp 那張安裝磁片放到第一台軟碟機中。
如果是從光碟安裝,那麼開機後請將 FreeBSD 光碟放入光碟機中。
如果,開機後如往常一樣而沒有從軟碟或光碟開機,請檢查︰
是不是磁片或光碟太晚放入而錯失開機時間。如果是,請將它們放入,然後重新開機。
BIOS 設定不對或忘了儲存設定,請重新檢查 BIOS 的設定。
您的電腦 BIOS 不支援從光碟開機。
此時,FreeBSD 就開始啟動了。如果是從光碟開機,會見到類似下面的畫面(版本部分省略)::

請根據提示將 kern.flp 磁片取出, 並放入 mfsroot.flp 這張磁片,然後按 Enter 鍵。若是 FreeBSD 5.3 (含之後)的話,還有另外一張磁片(在前一節已經介紹過了)。 總之,您只需從第一張磁片啟動, 然後根據提示,再放入相關磁片即可。
不論從軟碟或光碟開機,您都會看到下面這段訊息:
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... _
您可以等待 10 秒,或是按 Enter 鍵。 (若是 FreeBSD 4.X 的話,則將出現 kernel configuration 選單畫面)
Start with your computer turned off.
Turn on the computer and wait for a boot monitor prompt.
If you needed to prepare boot floppies, as described in Section 2.2.7 then one of them will be the first boot disc, probably the one containing kern.flp. Put this disc in your floppy drive and type the following command to boot the disk (substituting the name of your floppy drive if necessary):
>>>BOOT DVA0 -FLAGS '' -FILE ''
If you are booting from CDROM, insert the CDROM into the drive and type the following command to start the installation (substituting the name of the appropriate CDROM drive if necessary):
>>>BOOT DKA0 -FLAGS '' -FILE ''
FreeBSD will start to boot. If you are booting from a floppy disc, at some point you will see the message:
Please insert MFS root floppy and press enter:
Follow these instructions by removing the kern.flp disc, insert the mfsroot.flp disc, and press Enter.
Whether you booted from floppy or CDROM, the boot process will then get to this point:
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... _
Either wait ten seconds, or press Enter. This will then launch the kernel configuration menu.
Note: 從 FreeBSD 5.0 版開始,改用新的 device.hints(5) 方式,而淘汰舊的 userconfig 方式。 關於 device.hints(5) 機制的細節介紹,請參閱 Section 12.5。
The kernel is the core of the operating system. It is responsible for many things, including access to all the devices you may have on your system, such as hard disks, network cards, sound cards, and so on. Each piece of hardware supported by the FreeBSD kernel has a driver associated with it. Each driver has a two or three letter name, such as sa for the SCSI sequential access driver, or sio for the Serial I/O driver (which manages COM ports).
When the kernel starts, each driver checks the system to see whether or not the hardware it supports exists on your system. If it does, then the driver configures the hardware and makes it available to the rest of the kernel.
This checking is commonly referred to as device probing. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to do this in a safe way. Some hardware drivers do not co-exist well, and probing for one piece of hardware can sometimes leave another in an inconsistent state. This is a basic limitation of the PC design.
Many older devices are called ISA devices--as opposed to PCI devices. The ISA specification requires each device to have some information hard coded into it, typically the Interrupt Request Line number (IRQ) and IO port address that the driver uses. This information is commonly set by using physical jumpers on the card, or by using a DOS based utility.
This was often a source of problems, because it was not possible to have two devices that shared the same IRQ or port address.
Newer devices follow the PCI specification, which does not require this, as the devices are supposed to cooperate with the BIOS, and are told which IRQ and IO port addresses to use.
If you have any ISA devices in your computer then FreeBSD's driver for that device will need to be configured with the IRQ and port address that you have set the card to. This is why carrying out an inventory of your hardware (see Section 2.2.1) can be useful.
Unfortunately, the default IRQs and memory ports used by some drivers clash. This is because some ISA devices are shipped with IRQs or memory ports that clash. The defaults in FreeBSD's drivers are deliberately set to mirror the manufacturer's defaults, so that, out of the box, as many devices as possible will work.
This is almost never an issue when running FreeBSD day-to-day. Your computer will not normally contain two pieces of hardware that clash, because one of them would not work (irrespective of the operating system you are using).
It becomes an issue when you are installing FreeBSD for the first time because the kernel used to carry out the install has to contain as many drivers as possible, so that many different hardware configurations can be supported. This means that some of those drivers will have conflicting configurations. The devices are probed in a strict order, and if you own a device that is probed late in the process, but conflicted with an earlier probe, then your hardware might not function or be probed correctly when you install FreeBSD.
Because of this, the first thing you have the opportunity to do when installing FreeBSD is look at the list of drivers that are configured into the kernel, and either disable some of them, if you do not own that device, or confirm (and alter) the driver's configuration if you do own the device but the defaults are wrong.
This probably sounds much more complicated than it actually is.
Figure 2-1 shows the first kernel configuration menu. We recommend that you choose the Start kernel configuration in full-screen visual mode option, as it presents the easiest interface for the new user.
The kernel configuration screen (Figure 2-2) is then divided into four sections:
A collapsible list of all the drivers that are currently marked as “active”, subdivided into groups such as Storage, and Network. Each driver is shown as a description, its two or three letter driver name, and the IRQ and memory port used by that driver. In addition, if an active driver conflicts with another active driver then CONF is shown next to the driver name. This section also shows the total number of conflicting drivers that are currently active.
Drivers that have been marked inactive. They remain in the kernel, but they will not probe for their device when the kernel starts. These are subdivided into groups in the same way as the active driver list.
More detail about the currently selected driver, including its IRQ and memory port address.
Information about the keystrokes that are valid at this point in time.
Do not worry if any conflicts are listed, it is to be expected; all the drivers are enabled, and as has already been explained, some of them will conflict with one another.
You now have to work through the list of drivers, resolving the conflicts.
解除相衝的驅動程式
Press X. This will completely expand the list of drivers, so you can see all of them. You will need to use the arrow keys to scroll back and forth through the active driver list.
Figure 2-3 shows the result of pressing X.
Disable all the drivers for devices that you do not have. To disable a driver, highlight it with the arrow keys and press Del. The driver will be moved to the Inactive Drivers list.
If you inadvertently disable a device that you need then press Tab to switch to the Inactive Drivers list, select the driver that you disabled, and press Enter to move it back to the active list.
Warning: Do not disable sc0. This controls the screen, and you will need this unless you are installing over a serial cable.
Warning: Only disable atkbd0 if you are using a USB keyboard. If you have a normal keyboard then you must keep atkbd0.
If there are no conflicts listed then you can skip this step. Otherwise, the remaining conflicts need to be examined. If they do not have the indication of an “allowed conflict” in the message area, then either the IRQ/address for device probe will need to be changed, or the IRQ/address on the hardware will need to be changed.
To change the driver's configuration for IRQ and IO port address, select the device and press Enter. The cursor will move to the third section of the screen, and you can change the values. You should enter the values for IRQ and port address that you discovered when you made your hardware inventory. Press Q to finish editing the device's configuration and return to the active driver list.
If you are not sure what these figures should be then you can try using -1. Some FreeBSD drivers can safely probe the hardware to discover what the correct value should be, and a value of -1 configures them to do this.
The procedure for changing the address on the hardware varies from device to device. For some devices you may need to physically remove the card from your computer and adjust jumper settings or DIP switches. Other cards may have come with a DOS floppy that contains the programs used to reconfigure the card. In any case, you should refer to the documentation that came with the device. This will obviously entail restarting your computer, so you will need to boot back into the FreeBSD installation routine when you have reconfigured the card.
When all the conflicts have been resolved the screen will look similar to Figure 2-4.
As you can see, the active driver list is now much smaller, with only drivers for the hardware that actually exists being listed.
You can now save these changes, and move on to the next step of the install. Press Q to quit the device configuration interface. This message will appear:
Save these parameters before exiting? ([Y]es/[N]o/[C]ancel)
Answer Y to save the parameters to memory (it will be saved to disk if you finish the install) and the probing will start. After displaying the probe results in white on black text sysinstall will start and display its main menu (Figure 2-5).
先前在螢幕上所顯示的最後幾百行字,會存在暫存區(buffer)以便您翻閱。
若要翻閱暫存區,請按 Scroll Lock 鍵,這會開啟捲動畫面功能。 然後就可以使用方向鍵,或是 PageUp、PageDown 鍵來上下翻閱。再按一次 Scroll Lock 鍵,就會停止畫面捲動。
Do this now, to review the text that scrolled off the screen when the kernel was carrying out the device probes. You will see text similar to Figure 2-6, although the precise text will differ depending on the devices that you have in your computer.

Check the probe results carefully to make sure that FreeBSD found all the devices you expected. If a device was not found, then it will not be listed. If the device's driver required configuring with the IRQ and port address then you should check that you entered them correctly.
If you need to make changes to the UserConfig device probing, it is easy to exit the sysinstall program and start over again. It is also a good way to become more familiar with the process.
Use the arrow keys to select Exit Install from the Main Install Screen menu. The following message will display:
User Confirmation Requested Are you sure you wish to exit? The system will reboot (be sure to remove any floppies from the drives). [ Yes ] No
The install program will start again if the CDROM is left in the drive and [ Yes ] is selected.
If you are booting from floppies it will be necessary to remove the mfsroot.flp floppy and replace it with kern.flp before rebooting.
