Yes, it's available from fimp01.fim.uni-linz.ac.at:/pub/soft/unix/fbsdboot.arj! To unpack it, please use arj.exe, which you can find in that directory, too. This is version 1.5 of fbsdboot.exe (with sources) and should work. But it needs testing, too. So if you are willing to test, I'ld say: go for it! Your experiences are welcome! Fbsdboot boots /kernel from the first FreeBSD partition it finds, or - if you want it - from a kernel on a DOS medium. Just start fbsdboot with "-?" as option and you get information about its options! Christian. ----------------------------- DI. Christian Gusenbauer gusenbauer@fim.uni-linz.ac.at
