freebsd stable - Feb 2006 - install FreeBSS 6 from an existing filesystem?

Hmm,
I think I am missing something here.
Trying to install FreeBSD 6.0 (yeah, release, but will upgrade to
-stable once I get it installed) on this old laptop (HP OmniBook
5500CT), which has no CD-ROM drive, and no usb. On top of that, the
floppies of 6.0-RELEASE don't detect the PC cards properly, so my
network card doesn't work. The laptop has a FreeBSD-4.11 install on
slice 1 of the disk, and the other half is free for my 6.0 installation.
No spare place for a msdos partition.

Fine, I'll try to install from an existing filesystem then. In 4.11, I
download the distributions to a directory on /usr (/usr/fbsd6), which is
the /dev/ad0s1g partition.
After that I boot the 6.0 installation floppies, and try to install. 

When I get to the "select media" stage, I select "install from an
existing filesystem" (or something like that), but it only asks me for a
path.  Do I have to mount my filesystem manually first?

Isn't that a bit user unfriendly at this stage?

Actually, the easiest thing to do in this case is probably to label
and newfs the stuff for 6, and install it manually from the 4
partition.  You won't get UFS2 filesystems, but...
