Well, this is a real problem. I have nothing where I am to build and
burn an ISO, and I am trying to work with someone several states away
through an IKVM switch. The server-to-be is on a port on the switch and
I need them to download the ISO via FTP and burn it to a disc and drop
it in the tray. Right now I'll happily pay $50 to to anyone who can
provide me with an ISO of 8.3 stable in a location that I can provide to
the person in missouri so he can download it and create the DVD. I'm
serious. Paypal is at the ready.
Possible option?:
Have the person at the remote and plug an usb stick into the machine,
install onto that, and continue from there?

Which ISO? The driver didn't make it into 8.3-RELEASE. Do you have a
stable/8 iso that was made sometime after the 8.3 release?
No, I was trying to install from 8.3 RELEASE. Where do I get a .iso of
8.3
STABL:E that will include the new mfi driver? I can't find one on the
ftp
site.
There is no ISO to download. The most recent stable/8 code at
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8/ includes the driver. Check it
out and build a release ISO based on that code. Reference the URL
below, but don't pay any mind to "patching sysinstall", "kernel
config", or "Executing/Using the kernel" sections and it'll guide you
in building a release. Once the release is built, run mkisofs on it
and you'll have your ISO.

Also consider reading the release(7) manpage at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=release&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+8.3-RELEASE&arch=default&format=html
for information on building a release.
