Generally you need to copy the 'release' area from one of the FTP sites -- so, for 4.9-RELEASE on i386, you'ld copy the stuff from under: ftp.freebsd.org://pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.9-RELEASE/ That should also be what appears inside the installer iso images, which is an alternate place you could copy what you need from. Note: this *won't* make the 2nd drive bootable as an install system. You'll have to use the floppy or CDRoms to boot from still. Note2: Not sure exactly how much of the stuff under is strictly necessary to do an install. You'll have to experiment.
