All - If I were to summarize the options for STARTING the sysinstall process from a system that did not currently have FreeBSD on it, would it be fair to say that there are two methods as follows? - via a bootable CD (assuming the PC supports this) - via kern.flp / mfsroot.flp (or the single 2.88MB disk image) I don't want to get into the source media choices just yet, but I just wanted to make sure that I've covered the initial booting options. If there are other methods, are they (a) recommended, (b) commonly used? Regardless of the answers to those questions, I'd like to include them, but I want to highlight the scenarios that most users will be addressing. Thanks for any input, Seth.
