Subject: Do I have to install FreeBSD onto a hard drive?

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
