How can I create a boot floppy for FreeBSD? specifically, I want to have the boot record of a win95/freebsd machine only indicate that there is win95 and only go into win95.But I want a floppy that will boot into freebsd. Currently the system uses booteasy with F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F3 Drive 1 Drive1: F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD with only the first DOS and the Drive1 FreeBSD operational. This is fine for me, but my kids are confused when they wander into BSD. The system has two SCSI HDs, no IDE and the BSD root partition is on the second SCSI HD I tried kern.flp, mfs.flop and boot.flop mfs.flp was most promising with a boot prompt but I couldn't figure out what code to type in (ie 0da(1,f) ???) to get it to boot off the FreeBSD partition (slice?) in the second SCSI HD HEEELP.....:> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
