Dear Matthias

Sorry the delay to  reply. I tried the two commands that you send and it 
works fine. My system is:

FreeBSD Xbeaglebone 11.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT #0 r292177M: Mon Dec 14 05:35:35 BRT 2015     ota at Xbeaglebone:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  i386

and this machine is a guest running on Virtualbox.
