I was incorrect about this, not having used the CDs for years. I've downloaded the 4.4-release ISO image and I do not see the sysinstall binary there. What I'd suggest now is copying the kernel off the CD to your drive's / directory, naming it something like /installkernel, and then booting via that from your console (or by editing /boot/loader.conf if you don't have a keyboard) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
