I need to install FreeBSD 4.8 from scratch across a serial connection that exists between the two servers. The current OS are FreeBSD 4.6.2 and as such I am unable to adequately make world to the latest STABLE release. Further I do not have the option of installing from a CDROM installed on the server. Has anyone been in a similar situation and if so how did you resolve the problem? Thanks in advance, Jez
