I tried to do a custom install where I installed everything but the OS source. The install was done on with all the default partitioning selected. FreeBSD was the only OS on the disk. Everything looked good until the end, but when I rebooted, I found that there was no kernel written to the disk. I tried this 3 mroe times (selecting different components each time) with the same results. If I install using one of the predefined install sets (User, Developer, X-Developer, etc.) the install works fine and the kernel gets written to the disk. Is this a problem, am I doing something wrong, or is the Custom install option only for adding components to an existing installation?
