Have most of freeBSD CD-ROM software installed on my PC. Working OK. Worried about loosing it all if a crash occurs. On page 206 of freeBSD Handbook there is a BOOT procedure outlined. It hints at being able to boot from a floppy at the (boot :) prompt. Since I spent many weeks getting system to run and the kernel customized, especially with CDROM driver wcd0c included. Can I copy this customized kernel to floppy and boot to it at the "boot :" prompt? If so. .. do format, label, install fs to flooppy? Can this be done? Thanks in advance Bob Abel babel@cais.com
