read very slowly if they don't use the following to boot: * bootp (requires more than one system) * a cd (requires an optical drive) * a floppy (requires a floppy drive) then they boot from hdd. it doesn't matter if it's usb, sata or what have you there are no official boot images for hdd. nick is aware of this, and so are the rest of the developers the faq requires that you boot with bsd.rd and use that environment to install to usb media you cannot do that with a single computer that can only boot from usb hdd with the official media, so you need to install to qemu you are obviously not talking about the same situation, and neither is the other dude. more than that, you've never encountered this problem or else you'd be familiar with the requirements you are a humongous idiot > > Excuse my intervention, please, but your answers keep remainding me of > someone I work with, who got a habit of telling people around him how > they CAN'T accomplish something. Pretty useless.
