>Description:
I do not have a "compatible" CDROM and am loading bsd as per para 2.1 and have made a FREEBSD directory on my C and D drives (both recognized by the bsd system as wsd0 and wsd1). After logging into UNIX as "root"  I do a "/stand/sysinstall" command and tell the system that I want to set media. I set the media to the hard drive and then tell the system that I want to install packages, whereupon I am told that the system cannot find /packages/index and that is that.
