Hello, I have an IBM X30 laptop without external CD or FDD - so I can't boot from CD or FDD. I have also no network access to another computer. I can just download the installation software form the FreeBSD web site. Is there a way to install FreeBSD in such situation? Randy Pratt advised me to see the Handbook section 2.13.4 "Installing from an MS-DOSŪ Partition": http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-diff-media .html This sounds a perfect solution, but I still have one question - how do I boot? In the Handbook I can find only description how to boot from external media (FDD, CD). Is there a way to boot form the same HDD? Thank you very much. Best regards, Iavor
