I just tried booting to the flash with a cdrom installed so I could run the fixit shell. Apparently the cdrom is mounted on /dist and the flash isn't mounted at all. So either sysinstall isn't recognizing the flash as installation media or its favoring the cd when its present. How can I tell which is happening? How do I get it to mount the flash automatically?

I also tried using the fixit shell to mount the flash to /mnt but that didn't 
work either. However, I can install from cd after booting to flash, but that 
defeats the purpose. And since the crazy bios on my motherboard renumbers the 
ata devices I end up with a useless etc/fstab after removing the cd-rom drive.

I love the way sysinstall congratulates me for installing FreeBSD after it 
fails to find the installation media. Its just so friendly. :P
