It's an executable, or rather a gzip'd executable - you need to compile a kernel with the 'gzip' pseudo-device before you can run it. It's actually the installation program, BTW. > BTW, I grabbed the man tarchive from ftp.freebsd.org and found this: > > unix% gzcat manpages.tgz | tar tvf - | grep sysinstall > unix% > > Which tells me that there isn't any sysinstall man page in that > particular tarchive... :-( Nope, it's documented in the install docs - and it has online help 8-)
