Hi:

Here is the usecase i'm trying to explore during the 
installation.

I power cycle the laptop and select ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM device. the 
BTX loader and the DragonFlyBSD installer starts.

 . DragonFlyBSD CD in the CD-tray
 . 160GB USB disk attached to laptop
 . Main laptop disk not touched.

Now attempt to install DragonFlyBSD to the attached USB disk and 
*not* the main laptop disk. However, the installer shows only 
the main disk.

Is there a way to install DragonFlyBSD to the USB disk ?
(a manual approach would also be fine). Anybody tried this ?
