I was fairly successful adding parallel port IoMega ZipDrive support to my kernel (access is OK, initial probing takes >1 minute). Now I'd like to put a FreeBSD distribution on a ZipDisk so I can install it at home (which only has a 28.8 modem). How would I get the install floppy so it could read the ZipDisk? I assume that means "making" a boot disk. Are there simpler/better ways? The driver (ppa3.c) is not part of un/official FreeBSD - I pulled it from someone's web page (and could send it or the page coordinates to whoever cares). -thanks, Nate Melhorn (n_melhor@chelmsford.telebit.com).
