PC-BSD From the beginning - Part 2

Elija on 18 Oct 2009

Well. That went well! I have completely barfed my virtual machine.

I'm not quite sure how but it is giving me a message about back ticks in my rc.conf which sounds painful. It then drops me to a read only shell.

All I wanted to do was set it up as an NFS server which in Linux is a simple task and on the face of it even simpler in PC-BSD. I think my problem was initially caused by expecting the GUI tools in KDE to work as they should. At least that's how I understand the posts in the PC-BSD forums.

I am going to boot the live ISO and see if I can fix it, otherwise as I have done so little to it I will just re-install.

Wish me luck!
