Could you be more specific about what didn't work?
The basic idea behind installing by hand is to netboot; get the local
disks labelled, newfs'ed, and mounted; write boot blocks to the boot
drive; unpack the distribution sets onto the drives; configure the
newly installed system.
If you're having trouble with some particular step, let us know what
you tried and where it went wrong.
