I have a small and non-standard pc; in order to avoid conflicts between the FreeBSD install process and the BIOS, I had to remove the USB-boot support (cd/floppy) from the BIOS. So My only chance now is to perform a remote install (FTP to FreeBSD desktop). However I only have the Hard Disk and a Compact Flash card as primary and secondary boot devices. (Drives "C" and "D" under DOS) Question: How can I make the HD or the CF bootable in order to start the FreeBSD setup? Also, may the 'bsdboot.com' program found on tools/bsdboot be of any help? Thanks in advance. Rafael. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
