You can install from the following types of media:
CDROM requires one of the following supported CDROM drives:
ATAPI - Any standard ATAPI CDROM drive hooked to
a supported controller (see Hardware Guide).
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\)
UFS 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. Such floppies are assumed to
contain the appropriate distribution pieces - see
ABOUT.TXT for more information about making floppy
distribution media.
FTP Get the distribution files from an anonymous ftp server
(you will be presented with a list). Please note that
you may invoke FTP in "Active"/"Passive" auto-mode, or
via an HTTP proxy.
By default, ftp(1) will automatically use the best mode
for the server. Using an HTTP proxy is sometimes necessary
for firewalls which block all FTP connections.
If you chose to enter your own URL in the FTP menu, please
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.
HTTP Direct
Get the distribution files directly from an HTTP server.
If you chose to enter your own URL in the HTTP Direct menu,
please note that all paths are *relative* to the root
directory of the web server.
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.
