1You can install from the following types of media: 2 3 CDROM requires one of the following supported CDROM drives: 4 ATAPI - Any standard ATAPI CDROM drive hooked to 5 a supported controller (see Hardware Guide). 6 SCSI - Any standard SCSI CDROM drive hooked to 7 a supported controller (see Hardware Guide). 8 9 10 DOS A DOS primary partition with the required FreeBSD 11 distribution files copied onto it (e.g. C:\FREEBSD\) 12 13 14 UFS Assuming a disk or partition with an existing 15 FreeBSD file system and distribution set on it, 16 get the distribution files from there. 17 18 19 Floppy Get distribution files from one or more DOS or UFS 20 formatted floppies. Such floppies are assumed to 21 contain the appropriate distribution pieces - see 22 ABOUT.TXT for more information about making floppy 23 distribution media. 24 25 26 FTP Get the distribution files from an anonymous ftp server 27 (you will be presented with a list). Please note that 28 you may invoke FTP in "Active" mode, "Passive" mode, or 29 via an HTTP proxy. 30 31 Active mode is the standard way of fetching files and 32 Passive mode is for use when you're behind a firewall or 33 some other security mechanism that blocks active FTP 34 connections. Using an HTTP proxy is sometimes necessary 35 for firewalls which block all FTP connections. 36 37 If you chose to enter your own URL in the FTP menu, please 38 note that all paths are *relative* to the home directory 39 of the user being logged in as. By default, this is the 40 user "ftp" (anonymous ftp) but you may change this in the 41 Options screen. 42 43 44 NFS Get the distribution files from an NFS server somewhere 45 (make sure that permissions on the server allow this!). 46 If this install method hangs on you or refuses to work 47 properly, you may need to set some special options for 48 your NFS server. See the Options screen for more details. 49
