How is intalling FreeBSD from a mounted filesystem supposed to work?
(I have an external SCSI disk with the distribution on it.) In
particular, when do I get a chance to mount the disk? I tried
using the fixit floppy before installation, but it looks like
the installation process has chroot()ed by the time it tries to
load the files.
