	That doesn't matter.  According to Install.Txt, you're supposed to use the
version of sysinstall that corresponds to the version of FreeBSD you're
installing.  The version on my drive is for 4.3, not for 4.4.  And the
version for 4.4 doesn't exist on the RELEASE CDs.

"Important: These notes assume that you are using the version of
sysinstall(8) supplied with the version of FreeBSD to which you intend
to upgrade. Using a mismatched version of sysinstall(8) is almost
guaranteed to cause problems and has been known to leave systems in an
unusable state. The most commonly made mistake in this regard is the use
of an old copy of sysinstall(8) from an existing installation to upgrade
to a newer version of FreeBSD. This is not recommended."
