You are correct, there is no option for a USB flash drive for your
installation media. However, it is not a show stopper - you have the
"file system" media option. You should mount the flash disk and use this
option.

Subject: Re: Installing from USB Flash Drive
When booting the USB flash drive which contains the install cd1 iso you go
into sysinstall by default.
There is no way to stay in the sysinstall pgm and issue a mount command for
da0 that I can find.
Exiting sysinstall just causes a reboot and you are right back at point you
just left.
Please explain how to mount USB flash drive when it's all ready used to boot
from.
As I recall, the system starts up a shell on ttyv3 and you also have the
root menu option "Fixit" to enter a shell.
