Hello! I have here a system who's currently wearing a pair of disk drives, he can't use any of the larger sizes available. With that thought in mind I've installed a 10G drive as primary, and have gotten a totally different OS working on it, that's not the relevant one for this discussion but that's the first drive. The second drive on the other hand is currently unoccupied. It can be anything up to 8G in size comfortably. So the question is, "Can FreeBSD 7.0 (Version chosen at random) be installed there, and then booted from it, ostensibly using a boot floppy?" Also I am currently exploring the PPS API for NTP, and have gotten it seemingly working on the other OS, but according to an outside expert it works best on FreeBSD. To that end that's what I'll be exploring here. -- ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway."
