Hi,

We normally use OpenBSD, but would like to try FreeBSD on a test system.
Usually, when updating from one OpenBSD release to another, we do so by
downloading the latest bsd.rd and booting from that to complete the install.
Our machines have no optical drives. Does FreeBSD have a similar method to
installation? 

Thanks!
