AFAIK you can FreeBSD run on every computer from every medium as long as you
get it booted. It doesn't matter if it's a diskette, cdrom, boot-prom (bootp),
or if your computer can boot from binary code you type in using your keyboard
(but this could take a while :-))
You should have some writeable room for your configuration or you should use
a cd-rw and an own bootable image, if you want change default config.
