It may boot from IDE drives only (not positive; I know 2.2.8 CD boots on IDE only; or perhaps, it is BIOS related issue.) And little confusion here, all drives are SCSI except the LS-120 ??? I know Sun uses SCSI floppy drives, but I doubt PC users use SCSI floppy. Just want to make things clear. I am not sure FreeBSD will boot from a SCSI floppy either. If you did have a SCSI floppy drive and a SCSI CD drive, then FreeBSD probably would not boot from either drive. -Jin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
