You can install from the following types of media:
CDROM requires one of the following supported CDROM drives:
Sony CDU 31/33A
Matushita/Panasonic "Sound Blaster" CDROM.
Mitsumi FX-001{A-D} (older non-IDE drives).
SCSI - Any standard SCSI CDROM drive hooked to
a supported controller (see Hardware Guide).
DOS A DOS primary partition with the required FreeBSD
distribution files copied onto it (e.g. C:\FREEBSD\)
FS Assuming a disk or partition with an existing
FreeBSD file system and distribution set on it,
get the distribution files from there.
Floppy Get distribution files from one or more DOS or UFS
formatted floppies.
FTP Get the distribution files from an anonymous ftp server
(you will be presented with a list). Please note that
there are also two ways of invoking FTP in either
"Active" and "Passive" mode.
Active mode is the standard way of fetching files and
Passive mode is for use when you're behind a firewall or
some other security mechanism that blocks active FTP
connections. If you chose "other" in the FTP menu, please
also note that all paths are *relative* to the home
directory of the user being logged in as. By default, this
is the user "ftp" (anonymous ftp) but you may change this
in the Options screen.
NFS Get the distribution files from an NFS server somewhere
(make sure that permissions on the server allow this!).
If this install method hangs on you or refuses to work
properly, you may need to set some special options for
your NFS server. See the Options screen for more details.
Tape Extract distribution files from tape into a temporary
directory and install from there. If the tape was created
with blocksize other than 20, you may wish to change this
in the Options screen.
