Prepare the Boot Media. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-pr e.html ******************************************************************* You are off the subject. My question has nothing to do with how to install from floppies, or using cvsup to load the source to my PC for recompile of the system. Drop that line of thought. Question has always been how do people use ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/pub/FreeBSD/i386/ to build bootable cdrom to install from? I have been all through the handbook and it does not cover this subject. Can someone who has used ftp://current.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/pub/FreeBSD/i386/ in the past please respond with how this is done.
