Hello,
I've seen an option under sysinstall to install FreeBSD off of an =
existing filesystem. =20
What I would like to do, is install it onto a primary master, from a =
FreeBSD filesystem on a primary slave that contains the distribution =
files.
Now the question is - how will this work, as the drive must be =
mounted somehow before this would be possible. I have used sysinstall =
many times, and have never seen an option to do such a thing during the =
original installation. However, I fail to see the point of having such =
an option without being able to mount a drive to access the dist files, =
so I figure it is possible.
Can someone please point me to where I can get information on this, =
or gives me some steps on doing so?
Thank you all,
-Chris England=20
