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   FS       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   HTTP Direct
45            Get the distribution files directly from an HTTP server.
46
47            If you chose to enter your own URL in the HTTP Direct menu,
48            please note that all paths are *relative* to the root
49            directory of the web server.
50
51
52   NFS      Get the distribution files from an NFS server somewhere
53            (make sure that permissions on the server allow this!).
54            If this install method hangs on you or refuses to work
55            properly, you may need to set some special options for
56            your NFS server.  See the Options screen for more details.
