I have a disk configured like this:

  Device Boot  Begin   Start     End  Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hdc1           1       1     199  100264+  83  Linux native
/dev/hdc2         200     200     800  302904   83  Linux native
/dev/hdc3         801     801    1613  409752   83  Linux native
/dev/hdc4        1024    1614    2484  438984   a5  BSD/386

Will this work and how (it doesn't...my slice is above 1024 cylinders,
is this a problem ?)

Perhaps I need to interchange hdc3 with hdc4?

I also like the way linux boots with loadlin (there's a compressed
kernel, and loadlin runs the kernel to a boot device, with the
kernel uncompressing itself in protected mode...

I also have an IDE cd-rom drive -- it seems freebsd doesn't 
support ide cdroms -- I have another machine with a Sony U31 CDrom drive
I can nfs...can I use this (I suppose the alternative is to
do a mass copy of the cdrom to hard disk...)
