??? What is the problem? 

Boot the 20000517-CDROM. 

Go to a root-shell.

Place a disklabel on the disk. 
	disklabel sd0 > /tmp/dl
	disklabel -rR sd0 /tmp/dl
Tis is required because "disklabel -i" does not work on unlabeld disks.
	disklabel -i
I recommend at leest 32MB /, 32MB swap (64MB better), rest /usr
P prints the label
W writes it and 
Q quits

Make the filesystems...
	newfs /dev/sd0a
	....

and mount them.
	mount -o async /dev/sd0a /mnt
	mkdir /mnt/usr
	mount -o async /dev/sd0e /mnt/usr

Get and untar the sets. e.g.
	mount NFS_server:/where/the/sets/are /mnt2
	for a in /mnt2/*.tar.gz ; do 
		tar xzfp $a -C /mnt
	done
or ftp them to /mnt/usr/tmp, or do tricks like 
	rsh server 'zcat /where/the/sets/are/base.tar.gz' | tar xfp - -C /mnt

Make the dev-nodes
	cd /mnt/dev && ./MAKEDEV all

Make the disk bootable with the new bootblocks
	disklabel -B -b /mnt/usr/mdec/sdboot sd0

Edit /mnt/etc/rc.conf and /mnt/etc/fstab, reboot from disk and be happy.
