I have been doing this for years @ $work with sysinstall. Since the death o=
f sysinstall, I've been working on the replacement. However, you can downlo=
ad Hybrid ISO/IMG images here:

http://druidbsd.sourceforge.net/download.shtml#FreeBSD_Druid

or here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/druidbsd/files/

and here's PDF documentation on how to use it:

http://druidbsd.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/druidbsd/druidbsd/druid/src/doc/=
FreeBSD_Druid_User_Guide.pdf?view=3Dlog

and here's the instructions on how to "burn" it (including full instruction=
s for pretty much every Operating System; and even some tools for Windoze):

s/

Please...

Feel free to ask questions.

P.S. It's *so* much more than *just* taking the installer and Hybridizing i=
t to work with CD versus USB seamlessly. The "Druid" line is a master-work =
that took 7 years to produce.

P.P.S. Been working on rewriting other aspects of the installer before we r=
evisit the idea of merging Druid components to achieve what you're asking. =
For now, we have the Druid to show us a proof-of-concept that it's not only=
 achievable, but it's damned slick when you do get to the hybridized arena.
