You can't use sysinstall on 9.0 since the distribution format changed.  I=20
don't think there is a way to install them via bsdinstall post-install. =20
(Nathan cc'd in case there is).  I think you can root around in the FTP=20
directory and find the source tarball and untar it on your box by hand=20
however.
