It's been a long time since I've installed FreeBSD but I'm a long time user. I don't have a DVD burner or large enough flash drive so I downloaded the dvd iso onto a Linux box (convenient) and extracted the files. I thought I'd install over ftp to that box. I burned the boot disk and ran sysinstall trying to install 8.1. No matter what I try, only a minimum install will work and using a kernel or developer install causes an error saying it can't find the install packages from the installation directory right after copying all the files into /boot. However, at one time I did have these installed before a power failure screwed up the disks and I had to start over.
Perhaps related, sysinstall reports it cannot ftp to the freebsd.org servers to do the install.
I'm sure I've allocated enough disk space but here it is:

Code:
/ 2G
swap 2G
/var 4G
/tmp 1G
/usr 10G
2nd disk:
/home all of it
