I have looked at the install doc, and I don't think this is covered. I have an older Intel box that is unable to boot the 5.x CDs, and is unable to create CDs from images anyway.
I am also unable to create floppies, nor do I have enough space to build from source.
I do have 4.9 installed and running, and it has full network access to a Mac (OS X), which has dialup to the outside world.
Is there a way to download any format of the latest stable FreeBSD to the Mac, and from there, via NFS or FTP, upgrade? I do have two disks on Intel, so if necessary, I can boot one in order to install on the other.
Or if I can get someone to make me a CD, can I install from it without booting from it?
