Hi, I want to install FreeBSD to my second box and I have only Windows 7 x64 desktop without CD drives. 1. I have access to remote FreeBSD server (via SSH) where I can make custom FreeBSD installation in any format. 2. I know how to create TFTP/DHCPD/PXE server to boot loader and kernel. So questions are: 1) Do I able to boot some minimal FreeBSD environment without NFS aka embedded BSD to install fully functional environment? What things should I do to boot up it? How can I use Crunch/MFS_ROOT ?? 2) How can I write it to Flash drive in Windows 7? dd/flashnul/rawrite/rawcopy/etc are not working under this OS: it blocks access to drives even administrative rights. -- Eir Nym
