 Bye.

You should be able to, in theory at least. Once you get into the setup menu
go to options and change the release from 4.9 to 4.1.1-RELEASE and when
you go to install it should pull the 4.1.1 down instead. The main problem
you'll find is a finding a FTP mirror that still has the 4.1.1
binaries sitting around.
I can't even guess if such a beast exists.

Finding old releases is no problem
Use http://mirrorlist.freebsd.org to find a FTP mirror carrying a given
release.

 I have 4.1.1. on a CD. I tried with the 4.9 floppies but I couldn't. I received 
different errors (panic: going nowhere without my init!). Maybe the disks were bad. 
When I remembered and used the 4.1.1 images it went ok. So that was my doubt.
