Congratulations on your successful installation of FreeBSD!

Hmm...

That's a bit like "Liv Tyler walked into my home, took all her clothes off
and lay on my bed, but I have no clue what she wants me to enter."  ;-)

> If I enter / is states "permission is denied."

Try this command instead:

  $ echo crezvffvba tenagrq | tr '[a-mn-z]' '[n-za-m]'

> I have installed Windows NT 4 many times, and it works.

Lucky you.  I had to install a third party package called "Cygwin" before
I could even get it to display the "$" sign, and even then it worked very
poorly.

		Cheers,
