12 Seriously, I suppose noone plans to remove stage1 from the mirrors; then it
13 would be nice to have it properly documented (probably outside of handbook and
14 with warning that it's an unsupported install method if releng wish so). It's

16 some half-baked howtos published in forums.g.o. and people complaining on IRC
17 that it does not work.
