build and install a kernel to another mounted system

[Predrag Punosevac]

Forgive me my stupidity. What are you exactly trying to do? Are you 
trying to install FreeSBIE on the hard drive that you mounted as a file 
system? Officially FreeSBIE 2.01 does not support installation. If I was 
supposed to do this I would just do an honest installation of FreeBSD 
6.2. stable and copy configuration files from FreeSBIE and then compile 
the same packages that you like Xfce and etc.
