BSD Permission Denied Problem

I'm new to *nixs and I decided to start with FreeBSD.
I downloaded the ISO and installed it successfully, and managed to log in as root.

Now everytime I try to enter into a directory ( I think thats what Im doing) such as /etc or /usr I always will get a permission denied.

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Perhaps you might try the command:

cd /etc

... and see if this works.

It worked,

Thank you, it is much appreciated
