I acquired a Buslink 1394 Firewire 80GB hard drive, in which I would = like to install FreeBSD, to try it out. So far, except for Mandrake = 9.1, none of the other Linux distros have been able to find and install = itself on the Firewire bus. So now, this would give me /dev/hda for WindowsXP Pro, /dev/hdb for = Mandrake 9.1, and /dev/sda for (maybe?) FreeBSD. I am (was) reserving this extra drive to try different distros. My = computer has 700+MB of ram, and it is a 3.06GHz hyperthreading chip. I = would be using Mandrake's Lilo to boot into FreeBSD. Can your distro find and use, and install itself into a Firewire bus? Thanks
