FreeBSD 在 i386?上啟動，如果啟動正常，您將看到在屏幕上有很多信息滾動，最後您會看到登陸命令行。 您可以通過鍵入 Scroll-Lock和使用 PgUp 與 PgDn來查看信息，再鍵入 Scroll-Lock 回到命令行。 記錄信息可能不會顯示（緩沖區的限制）。您可以通過鍵入 dmesg 來查看。 使用您在安裝過程中設置的用戶名/密碼來登陸。（例子中使用 rpratt）。除非必須的時候請不要用 root 用戶登陸。典型的啟動信息：（忽略版本信息）

Password:生成 RSA 和 DSA密鑰在比較慢的機器上可能要花很長時間。這只是一個新安裝後的首次啟動，以後的啟動會變得更快一點。 如果 X 服務器已經配置好了，默認的桌面也選擇好了，就可以在命令行鍵入 startx 來啟動視察環境。
