Hi, I have a writetable optical drive that uses 256 optical diskettes. Since my 1G hard drive contains important data and is almost full, I want to leave it alone. I wonder if I can use just the floppy to boot FreeBSD and use the magneto-Optical disketts only. The rewriteable optical drive is a OCEAN MOST V256 (a SCSI device but not configured as a boot device). I could configure a 256M magneto-optical disk but the boot floppy always looks for a hard drive. Is there anyway to boot from the floppy and use the OCEAN optical drive only? Another question I have is how to swap the Caps and Ctrl keys in FreeBSD. Thanks for any information. Heng Chu
