Same for scsi ... but what would be really excellent ...

I tried a month ago to install a FreeBSD system on a separate SCSI
drive from within a running FreeBSD. I'm about writing an article
about FreeBSD and this would be a fine possibility, to make some
snapshots of the installation screen using xgrab.

Unfortunately everything runs fine up to the point, when the OS
gets written to disk, since it overwrites my own disk instead of
writing to the 3rd SCSI disk, which was dedicated for installation.

Any clue or idea, how to make that possible ???

I think it would additionally be a cool way to preinstall FreeBSD
systems. This would be a nice way to test FreeBSD installations
as well.
