[SNIP!] Try this, rather than keep resorting to /stand/sysinstall, go into the directory of a distribution you would like to install, e.g. 'src', and just install it from the shell script in there. That is, # mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s1 /DOS # cd /DOS/FREEBSD/src # ./install.sh And that should work without inflicting the assumptions and 'user-friendliness' of /stand/sysinstall on you. ;) Ask if you have questions about the 'install.sh' scripts. -- Crist J.
