Jesus Terry, not this crap again.

This in no way prevents you from shipping your own installer CD which 
you describe in your documentation as the preferred method to install.

Then, if the customer has problems installing FreeBSd using your 
installer, and comes to the project's mailing lists for help, they'll 
be told to either contact your customer support, or use the project's 
installer which you will have shipped as part of your product.

Why is this so hard for you to understand?
