Yes, the boot floppies hang as well, though not hard like the CD. I don't have a spare floppy laying around, but I may try faking it by telling the bios I have one installed, forcing it to a:, and turning boot cdrom back on in the scsi controller (adaptec 2940 uw, sets the cdrom to a: when bootable disk is in the drive). Even if I manage to get freebsd on this machine, and my hopes are dimming, I'm still not sure I'll be able to run X. Anyone know if X supports the GeForce2 GTS for just 2d accelleration? I'm not about to run linux for a video card. I started life on the command line, and while it's not the preferred method, I can go back. At least my laptop runs FreeBSD fine. I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't run it anywhere.
