I'd like to install FreeBSD on the flash card and to be able to boot with the flash. The problem I am running into is that my BIOS doesn't recognize the flash card as a boot device. Is there any way to run with a FreeBSD system (4.11) off of a flash card rather than a hard drive? Any way to boot up with the flash card? Thanks, - Jamie The Moon is Waning Gibbous (99% of Full)
