     I was fairly successful adding parallel port IoMega ZipDrive support 
     to my kernel (access is OK, initial probing takes >1 minute). Now I'd 
     like to put a FreeBSD distribution on a ZipDisk so I can install it at 
     home (which only has a 28.8 modem). How would I get the install floppy 
     so it could read the ZipDisk? I assume that means "making" a boot 
     disk. Are there simpler/better ways?
     
     The driver (ppa3.c) is not part of un/official FreeBSD - I pulled it 
     from someone's web page (and could send it or the page coordinates to 
     whoever cares).
     
     -thanks, Nate Melhorn (n_melhor@chelmsford.telebit.com).
