The LFS is meant for recovering lost files or borrowing for static storage. You can't save anything on it or make changes. You have to create a MFS /tmp to put temporary files to, and since you can't modify fstab on a CD to do that, you're probably sunk. > My LapTop use the floppy on the parallel port, > then if the answer is yes it is also possible to start > FreeBsd without using the Floppy. Parallel floppy? Barf! Does FreeBSD find it as a standard floppy in this case? I think there may be some magic at work to have this DTRT.
