config root man

You can install from the following types of media:

   CDROM    requires one of the following supported CDROM drives:
            ATAPI - Any standard ATAPI CDROM drive hooked to
	    a supported controller (see Hardware Guide).
            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.  Such floppies are assumed to
            contain the appropriate distribution pieces - see
            ABOUT.TXT for more information about making floppy
            distribution media.


   FTP      Get the distribution files from an anonymous ftp server
            (you will be presented with a list).  Please note that
            you may invoke FTP in "Active" mode, "Passive" mode, or
            via an HTTP proxy.

            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.  Using an HTTP proxy is sometimes necessary
            for firewalls which block all FTP connections.

            If you chose to enter your own URL in the FTP menu, please
            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.
