First off, you're better off grabbing stable source and rebuilding sysinstall from /usr/src/release/sysinstall (make; make install). However, if you can't do that, you can gunzip the mfsroot.gz image and mount it with the vn(4) interface. You'll need vn(4) in your kernel (this is why it's probably not worth your while doing it this way). Then should be able to use the vnconfig(8) command to "mount" the mfsroot file as a filesystem. I haven't done this myself, so I can't give you any more specific advice than that. But take my word for it, the source upgrade is the easiest. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
