Hi, all.

I have a laptop, a sub-notebook, that I want to install FreeBSD on.  
Problem is there is no floppy or CD-ROM.  I do have a working Ethernet 
connection.  Currently, it is running Win98.  The laptop is a ruggedised 
unit, a Melard Scout2, so it is not easy to get to the HD to install on it 
separately.

Any suggestions as to the best way to proceed?  

Regards,
-mark.
