I've had FreeBSD on a server for about a month, and I really like it. I'm
ready to try it as a workstation. I'm thinking the easiest way to give it a
go  for a while without disrupting my current workstation setup (W98 & NT) is
to install it on a Jaz (1GB) disk. 

The system I want to to install on has an Adaptec 2940UW I can run the Jaz
drive off and set the system to boot from it. Will this work? Will FreeBSD
install on removeable media? Are there any non-obvious gotcha's that I should
be aware of? 

Thanks in advance.
