It wouldn't boot from USB CDROM that I have so I created a bootable USB flash drive from the install ISO. However, there is no way to mount it, or point sysinstall to this device to find the installation files. - fixit: Emergency shell: No mount command (this alone could solve the issue) - sysintall: option for CD, Floppy, & Filesystem. Maybe another option for "mount other" both of the above bugs essentially have the same issue. No way in sysinstall to mount & point to a USB drive such as da0. (whether it be floppy, CDROM, or flash) Also tried the livefs iso from flash drive. Same issue. Can't mount the drive, it only expects legacy CD/floppy. Isn't it time to modernize sysinstall just this little bit? Thanks, Chris
