Hi Iavor, Welcome to FreeBSD! I hope that you find it a rewarding experience. The Handbook section 2.13.4 "Installing from an MS-DOSŪ Partition" might be what you're looking for: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html If you need more information or have questions, it would be best to ask on the freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list. This list is typically for chatting and discussing non-technical issues. Best of luck with your install! Randy --help
