Just tried the above with 6.3-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806) , as well as
7.0-RELEASE amd64 snapshot (200806), with pressing the spacebar, pressing 6
at boot screen and typing the above options.
For 6.3-RELEASE, it actually got to sysinstall. For 7.0-RELEASE, it seemed
to hang at "Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0".
When I have time (tonight perhaps), I will try to do a full install of
6.3-RELEASE and see how that functions. Unfortunately there are no amd64
snapshots for 200807, so if I cant install 6.3 I may wait until more updated
snapshots come out.
