I realise that 8.4 is no longer supported but I'd just like to ask if anyone remembers how installs were done...
The reason is that I can use the bootonly-iso with PXE to do a remote boot and it gets as far as SYSINSTALL or BSDINSTALL (not sure which).
With the next release, 9.0, it starts to boot, but then ends up at a mountroot prompt and I have no idea what to enter there.
But with 8.4 I am offered lots of options for booting, I can specify source, version. I can partition the local hard disk etc, altough I haven't quite figured out how...
If anyone knows of a guide to installing v8.* then please let me know...
Alternatively, since v9.0 has effectively booted via PXE, but halted waiting for magic words, what do I enter at the mountroot prompt
