FreeBSD 5.x sysinstall

Hi,

I am currently upgrading from FreeBSD 4.8 to FreeBSD 5.x.
The reason is that I would like to try some of the
new features provided in 5.x, particulartly snapshots.

I have a "kickstart" floppy that has served me well for
BSD4.4 and 4.8. It has a kernel configured following
the PICOBSD instructions. It automatically connects to an NFS
server where the distributions are and installs
them on the machine automatically (from an install.cfg
file I provide at a well-known location).

In FreeBSD 5.0 things aren't working. First of all,
instead of the bin directory there is a base directory
that is somehow confusing the original sysinstall.
Secondly, the PICOBSD code doesn't compile on
BSD5.0 and I haven't seen new source files.

Is there a new sysinstall for FreeBSD 5.x? Has anybody
experienced similar problems?

Any hints would be appreciated.

Thanks
Eno
