The install disks now print the partition table data with

To prepare for installing via Kermit:
The preparations for this method of installation
require that the kermit program be put on the
dos-floppy installation disk. This will be
loaded as part of the minimum base installation.
Kermit is available from tools directory of the
FreeBSD FTP site. This is a FreeBSD binary and
only executes under the FreeBSD operating system.
Once you have done this, you can proceed to the next

You will be given (more) instructions, (e.g., to halt the
system) and you should reboot the machine again, from the

ethernet card back into life.
You are given the option to load the dos-floppy disk.
In particular, if you want to use kermit for downloading
the distribution, the dos-floppy should have the kermit
binary. If loading it, remove the cpio-floppy from the
drive, insert the dos-floppy and enter a "yes" response
at the prompt. Otherwise, enter "no" at the prompt.

instructions above as if you had installed the files
from a floppy.
To install via Kermit:
First you must decide on a temporary directory to hold
the <set>.tar.gz.xx files. The directory /usr/distrib
is suggested. You should cd to it, if necessary do
a mkdir first. Use set_tmp_dir to identify this
directory to the install process.
Invoke kermit and dial the remote kermit server.
A typical session might be:
# stty -f /dev/sio01 clocal
# kermit
C-Kermit> set line /dev/sio01
C-Kermit> set baud 9600
C-Kermit> set receive packet 740
C-Kermit> set window 4
C-Kermit> set block 2
C-Kermit> connect
Connecting to /dev/sio01, speed 9600.
The escape character is Ctrl-\ (ASCII 28, FS)
Type the escape character followed by C to get back,
or followed by ? to see other options.
atdt 1234567 <-- dial the remote
Connect 9600
login: mylogin <-- login to the remote
remote$ kermit -x <-- invoke remote kermit as server
C-Kermit server starting. Return to your local machine by typing
its escape sequence for closing the connection, and issue further
commands from there. To shut down the C-Kermit server, issue the
BYE command to logout, or the FINISH command and then reconnect.
^\C <-- return to local kermit
C-Kermit> get bin_tgz* <-- request files from remote
... (wait long for transfer to complete)
C-Kermit> finish <-- terminate remote server
C-Kermit> connect
C-Kermit> exit <-- exit remote kermit
remote$ exit <-- exit remote host
^\C <-- return to local kermit
C-Kermit> exit <-- exit local kermit
At this point the binary distribution should be
downloaded to the FreeBSD system. Run the "extract"
command, giving it as its sole argument the name
of the distribution set you wish to extract. For
example, to extract the binary distribution, use
the command:
extract bin
and to extract the source distribution:
extract src
After the extraction is complete, go to the location
of the next set you want to extract, "set_tmp_dir"
again, and once again issue the appropriate
extract command. Continue this process until
you've finished installing all of the sets which you
desire to have on your hard disk.
After each set is finished, if you know that you
are running low on space you can remove the
distribution files for that set by saying:
rm <set>*
For example, if you wish to remove the distribution
files for the binarydist set, after the "extract bin"
command has completed, issue the command:
rm bin*
Once you have extracted all sets and are at the "#" prompt
again, proceed to the section "Configuring Your System,"
below.
