In reference to the QNX bootable floppy, my NEC Ready 9618 is quite happy to boot off the IDE CD-ROM -- the recovery CD-ROM runs DOS (gack!) to restore the hard drive back to the factory state. Any clue how standard their method is and it is worth including the proper boot blocks on the FreeBSD CD-ROM? It would be _real_ nice to be able to boot a new or toasted FreeBSD system without going into DOS Mode. I'll be happy to dump the first first blocks of the CD if an interested party sends a command line (dd?) along to have me dump it. -ahd-
