How to install files under /filesys, /games /manpages, /packages and 
/xfree86_ directory after a basic /bindist installation?  

I have a 60MB DOS partition and 174MB FreeBSD partition on my hard drive.  I 
also have a Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM drive with Acculogic SCSI controller.  
However, FreeBSD does not recognize the SCSI drive.  I could not install 
FreeBSD from the CD-ROM.  Therefore, I copied the /bindist files first to the 
DOS partition and installed the files from it.  Now the system is up and I 
want to repeat the /bindist process to install the rest of the OS, but I could 
not get the installation menu where the componets are list.

I would appreciate your help.  Thank you.
