Don't use sysinstall, use the pkg_add command instead. Mount your DOS partition with mount -t msdos /dev/wd0 /mnt (or something like that) cd /mnt/freebsd/packages cp apache-1.1 ~/apache-1.1.tgz --> DOS will munge the filenames and pkg_add requires the original name. Rename as necessary. cd pkg_add apache-1.1.tgz All as root of course.
