Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Is it possible to run freebsd and boot it in a single ext2 partition or a logical drive in an extended, type 05 or type 85 extended partition? If not, is it possible to boot from a floppy, and load an ext2 partition as root. I'm not worried about stability, only convenience. The disklabel and slices stuff keeps me from installing multiple copies of freebsd along with dozens of other operating systems on my machine, for me to play with and understand?
