I usually do it like this:
- download bsd.rd and copy it to /
- reboot and type 'boot bsd.rd' at the boot> prompt
- select upgrade
- select ftp as location for the file sets
- select the file sets you need
- reboot

Because you go from 4.4-release to 4.4-stable, there's no need to fiddle
with etc44.tgz.  After the last reboot, it just works.
