You can install from the following types of media:
|
|
|
|
CDROM requires one of the following supported CDROM drives:
|
|
ATAPI - Any standard ATAPI CDROM driver 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\)
|
|
|
|
|
|
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. 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" mode, "Passive" mode, or
|
|
via an HTTP proxy.
|
|
|
|
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. 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
