From your favorite FreeBSD mirror site, ftp download all
the files from `./bin' to some convenient location on you
local drive.
# mkdir /usr/altroot
# setenv DESTDIR /usr/altroot
(or for bourne'ish shells)
# DESTDIR=/usr/altroot ; export DESTDIR
# ./install.sh
The shell reports the target directory before prompting you
to continue. Ensure it's correct, then accept it. You'll find
your `/usr/sbin/* files in `/usr/altroot/usr/sbin'
