You can install from the following types of media:
|
|
|
|
CDROM requires one of the following supported CDROM drives:
|
|
Sony CDU 31/33A
|
|
Matushita/Panasonic "Sound Blaster" CDROM.
|
|
Mitsumi FX-001{A-D} (older non-IDE drives).
|
|
IDE CDROM (only some models - experimental!)
|
|
SCSI - Any standard SCSI CDROM drive hooked to
|
|
a supported controller (see Hardware Guide).
|
|
|
|
|
|
DOS A DOS primary partition with the required FreeBSD
|
|
distribution files copied onto it (e.g. C:\FREEBSD\)
|
|
|
|
|
|
FS Assuming a disk or partition with an existing
|
|
FreeBSD file system and distribution set on it,
|
|
get the distribution files from there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Floppy Get distribution files from one or more DOS or UFS
|
|
formatted floppies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
FTP Get the distribution files from an anonymous ftp server
|
|
(you will be presented with a list). Please note that
|
|
there are also two ways of invoking FTP in either
|
|
"Active" and "Passive" mode.
|
|
|
|
Active mode is the standard way of fetching files and
|
|
Passive mode is for use when you're behind a firewall or
|
|
some other security mechanism that blocks active FTP
|
|
connections. If you chose "other" in the FTP menu, please
|
|
also note that all paths are *relative* to the home
|
|
directory of the user being logged in as. By default, this
|
|
is the user "ftp" (anonymous ftp) but you may change this
|
|
in the Options screen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
NFS Get the distribution files from an NFS server somewhere
|
|
(make sure that permissions on the server allow this!).
|
|
If this install method hangs on you or refuses to work
|
|
properly, you may need to set some special options for
|
|
your NFS server. See the Options screen for more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tape Extract distribution files from tape into a temporary
|
|
directory and install from there. If the tape was created
|
|
with blocksize other than 20, you may wish to change this
|
|
in the Options screen.
