Hello,

My system configuration:

Drive C:  Windows ME.  No boot manager installed.
Drive D:  Linux Mandrake, which boots from floppy.  Also includes a FAT32
partition for Windows.
Drive E:  A spare drive waiting for me to install FreeBSD.

The documentation I have read assumes I'm going to install BootEasy or some
other boot manager.  I'd like to leave Drive C entirely unmodified, and use
a boot floppy that would load FreeBSD from Drive E (this is my current
method of booting & running Linux on Drive D).

Is there a FAQ or other document that I can reference?

TIA,

- Paul
