Silly Sysinstall Tricks, redux

[Sean Bruno]

Karsten asked for a "proper bug report" so I'll try to comply.

Setup:
	Partition a USB stick into 3 seperate partitions
	-- Part 1: VFAT, 128MB, Grub boot loader and related files
	-- Part 2: Empty partition, 1.2GB, no F/S
	-- Part 3: Empty partition, 1.2GB, no F/S

	Download the latest i386 and amd64 USB install images:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201006/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201006-amd64-memstick.img
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/201006/FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201006-i386-memstick.img

	I'm using 201006 for now as July hasn't appeared.

	dd the downloaded images to each of your empty partions as per common
instructions:
	dd if=FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201006-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0s2
bs=10240 conv=sync
	dd if=FreeBSD-9.0-CURRENT-201006-i386-memstick.img of=/dev/da0s3
bs=10240 conv=sync

	Setup your grub configuration to boot off of these images:
	e.g.
	title FreeBSD-CURRENT-i386
		root (hd0,1)
		chainloader +1
	title FreeBSD-CURRENT-amd64
		root (hd0,2)
		chainloader +1

	Boot new system off of USB stick, at this point the system will boot
normally and come up into the sysinstall menu.  I can configure drives,
select packages and things seem to work fine until the I get to the
"select media from which to install" section where I can chose CD/DVD,
FTP, HTTP, USB etc.

	Selecting USB install fails to find any media.  Hence I *ass*ume that
sysinstall doesn't understand that the media can have more than one
partition and that I might want to use something other than da0s1 to use
as my source of packages.


	Clear?  Confusing?  Nonsense?  :-)
