Thanks. I will keep an eye on both.

OK, this worked fine. mplayer is able to play a video that I just got
from youtube. vlc, on the other hand, just spat a bunch of error
messages. I filed a bug against xserver-xorg-video-sis, since I didn't
know any better. I did not tag it with user nor with the debian-bsd
list.

I will put these lists on a webpage just for reference, since I may be
filing some extra bugs with this machine.

Yes, it does boot. But it complains that the kernel could not mount the
root device, even though the device name is exactly the same as the one
in kfreebsd-7 (/dev/ad2s1).
Of course, I don't know if I don't have the proper kernel driver
compiled in the kernel or not or if the name of the device has changed
with version 8 or whatever.
With Linux, I frequently compile my own kernels---so I don't have this
problem there, but I hope to be able to customize my own kernels with
kfreebsd.

Well, the last line isn't really useful, since it is just a boot prompt
and nothing else. The preceeding lines are more informative, though
(copied by hand---please excuse any errors here):
,----

If I try to ? at the boot prompt, then it tell me that:

Yes, an empty list. Is there anything easy to solve this?
Thanks for your kind support,
