The install steps on no longer appear to apply. The /dist/ directory doesn't exist on any of the current snapshots, so the actual install process given in that page can't work. Am I correct in guessing that the /usr/freebsd_dist/ directory has replaced it in some form? Also, instead of sub-folders with install scripts, there are tarballs, which I assume are extracted over the new filesystem? Then any necessary pre-boot configuration would be done. (Anything special need mention beyond what is on the page above?) If there's a doc someplace on this, feel free to point me to it. I just want a sanity-check before I dive in headfirst... Daniel T.
