When I boot the CD I get a different menu, ie., boot, shell, install. Since the CD is in the CD-ROM drawer and I know how to use sysinstall (or so I thought!,) I get a fresh shell and say "sysinstall". Okay? Except I can't write the disk. Notice, I have not explicitly mounted it or done anything to reserve it. I need a procedure to do this please. It's just a small machine. But having this up let's me do a backup and once I've backed up the disks on my other computers, then I can do some serious stuff with 9.0. I'd like to use sysinstall, if possible. I know it and I like it. I do have some other FBSD boxes nearby, each with TCP/IP running fine; But I'm not knowledgeable with PXE.
