Message-ID: X-Originating-IP: 192.128.133.84 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all, I am thinking about completely reconfiguring my system. I am considering purchasing an internal SCSI Jaz drive and modifying my system so the Jaz drive becomes my boot drive. It is then my hope to be able to change operating systems by changing Jaz disks. My questions are: FreeBSD supposedly supports Jaz drives, does anyone have experience with them? If so, how easy are the SCSI ones to get working with FreeBSD? Can you boot FreeBSD from a Jaz drive? (according to Iomega you can boot NT from a Jaz drive...) Does anyone see any major flaws with this concept?
