(6.2 install) Offering both install ISO's via nfs?

[Bill-Schoolcraft]

Hello Family,

Hmm, in doing installs with more than one install iso (disk-1 and
disk-2) via NFS I'm not clear on the instructions where it states to 
simply "copy the FreeBSD distribution files..."

(question)

(A) Would that mean to copy the files from both install disks into one
common directory then export the directory via NFS?

(B) Mount each ISO in a loopback then export the two loopbacked ISO's
under each other in an exported parent directory?

TIA

2.13.6.1 Before Installing via NFS

The NFS installation is fairly straight-forward. Simply copy the FreeBSD
distribution files you want onto an NFS server and then point the NFS
media selection at it.

If this server supports only “privileged port” (as is generally the
default for Sun workstations), you will need to set the option NFS
Secure in the Options menu before installation can proceed.

If you have a poor quality Ethernet card which suffers from very slow
transfer rates, you may also wish to toggle the NFS Slow flag.

In order for NFS installation to work, the server must support subdir
mounts, for example, if your FreeBSD 6.1 distribution directory lives
on: ziggy:/usr/archive/stuff/FreeBSD, then ziggy will have to allow the
direct mounting of /usr/archive/stuff/FreeBSD, not just /usr or
/usr/archive/stuff.

In FreeBSD's /etc/exports file, this is controlled by the -alldirs
options. Other NFS servers may have different conventions. If you are
getting “permission denied” messages from the server, then it is likely
that you do not have this enabled properly.

It seems to be written for the time when there was only a single ISO cd.
