Subject:   installing from Win98 partition

I tried to install 3.0-RELEASE from a win98 partition, but when it tries to
proceed with the installation, I get a message about unable to extract bin,
info, manpages, etc.  I know the reason is that now there is case-sensitive
file and directory names with mount_msdos.

What should the directory and file names be called to install from a DOS
(FAT32) partition?  i.e.,

c:\freebsd
  |
c:\freebsd\bin

or should it be c:\FreeBSD\bin or c:\Freebsd\Bin?  Before, it worked with
c:\FREEBSD\bin, etc.  Basically, I'm asking what combination of uppercase
and lowercase is the installation program expecting when installing from a
DOS partition?

Thanks
