By happy coincidence, mine mentions the shell interface but doesn't go into it. Didn't think there were any catches, but maybe kern.geom.debugflags and other settings are not already done. I made a bunch of screenshots, but only used a few. A quick hack of just the bsdinstall chapter is temporarily at http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/freebsd9/book.html Please ignore the missing stylesheets and sections that haven't been updated yet. Also, I've only worked on the Pre-Installation and Allocating Disk Space sections so far. ---902635197-1628050217-1317327962=:14509--
