The amount of RAM may limit the usability of the system, but it has nothing whatsoever to do with the bootloader. The real problem is that BTX never gets around to loading any kernel. >From the information I have found online, BTX does not seem to be as reliable as loaders such as isolinux, which has no trouble on the laptop. I just want to know if there are ways to boot a bsd kernel on this laptop, which has no floppy and a cardbus ethernet nic.
