Description nik freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2002-05-27 12:40:02 UTC
I've had an (unconfirmed) report that the FreeBSD DOS installation
directory *must* be called "freebsd" and must be an immediate
subdirectory of the root directory on the disk.

If this is the case then

    http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-diff-media.html

section 2.13.3 must be updated to reflect this.

    http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/media.c?rev=1.119&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

suggests that only a limited number of paths are checked.
