Cross" Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I think the 2.88MB suggestion was an alternative to going to a 'Hard Drive' type solution for bootable CDROMs (from a jkh post earlier). Since most bioses support 2.88MB floppies (regardless of if the hardware exists on the person's machine), wouldn't it be possible to have the 'boot.flp' for a bootable CDROM be one of these? (Personally, I think going to the Hard Disk method is the right-way; this could be a short term band-aid though.) -- David Cross To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
