Still requires a boot floppy though, right?
My question is...
Is it possible to install freeBSD WITHOUT a floppy drive?
I have a laptop with no floppy drive and a non-bootable CD-ROM drive (it's
a bit flaky - was dropped apparently quite hard in transit, but it was
free...).  It does, however, have a barely working RedHate installation on
it and I managed to get the network card configured, so I at least have a
nice fast DSL connection working with it.
All the documentation seems to suggest I'm SOL.
I am hoping to hear otherwise.
So, any ideas?
Thanks.
