I wanted to install src onto an existing RELEASE-9.0 box (that is maintained 
using freebsd-update), since I needed to build lsof. I then used sysintall as 
follows:

* Media: ftp.freebsd.org
* Distribution: custom -> src -> sys/base/include/lib

Error message was then:

| Unable to transfer the sbase distribution from │
│ ftp://ftp.freebsd.org.                         │
│                                                │
│ Do you want to try to retrieve it again?       |


I see some distributions here: 
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/9.0-RELEASE/  but I 
can't see anything called sbase.txz in my searching.

This might work fine from CD, but this server is in the colo without an easy 
way for me to insert a CD.



Cheers
Ari
