I tried this with Falcon, now there's different problem; after sysinst is
loaded, it starts to loop following messages:

erase ^H, werase ^W, kill ^U, intr ^C
mount: cannot open '/dev/md2a': no such file or directory
Unable to mount /dev/md2a read-write

I can break to sh shell with Cntr-C and there are only: md0a, md0c and md1a,
md1c devices in /dev ...

sysctl -n kern.root_device kern.root_partion returns
md2
0

I wonder why md2a does not exist in /dev, but it can be used as root device
to launch installer ?

I tried with fd0a device and it launches installer as assumed (I tried it to
the point when it prompts for keyboard layout).
