I've found alot of messages about this in the archives, but I'm still rather clueless on this... I have a network machine that runs win95 during business hours and I want to run FreeBSD on it. I do not want FreeBSD to be visible to the normal user, so I want to make it bootable by floppy only. If I use disklabel to make a bootable floppy I gather from what I read that I can tell the boot to look for the kernel on the FreeBSD partition, which is a IDE harddrive that has been split using fips. Would the proper syntax be boot: wd(0,a)/kernel Would another (thew proper?) option be to put the kernel on the floppy and then to mount the FreeBSD partition? Thanks, Dave
