I have installed FreeBSD from a magazine cover disc.
I use a fixed HD which has the Win 98 OS. In addition, I use the =
following removable HDs:
=3Done has Win 2000 (NT)
=3Done has LInux Mandrake
=3Done has Debian Gnu Linux and the above BSD.
I load Linux Mandrake and Debian Linux using a boot floppy. I prefer to =
boot this way to
avoid messing about with the MBR and because of Win 2000 (whitch is NT!)
My question is: how can I boot BSD from a floppy?
I have created two floppies (BSD takes ages to write the =
floppies!), but installation
is all they are good for.
Here`s wishing you a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
