I am trying to create a boot floppy that I can use to boot a machine that has failed. Once I boot off the floppy I want to mount the hard drive(s) and move any data from the machine to another machine on the network. I tried searching for some information on how to do this, but I was overwhelmed with creating the installation floppies in my search. I did see the commands to boot FreeBSD after booting from a DOS floppy (nb8390.com and nb3c509.com.), but this will not give the support I need for all the different hardware. If anyone could lead me to some information on how to do this I would appreciate it.
