I was already aware of that solution, but it's not for me. There are 
times when I need to do the install and setting up a DHCP server et al 
is not viable. Installing FreeBSD via the network has no benefits for me 
and I will not be trying to install remotely. All I need is to be able 
to do a simple install using the local serial console because a keyboard 
and monitor is not practical in the situation. Can anyone tell me where 
the mistake is in my process?
