Here is my problem: I currently own a Compaq Presario 1621 (japanese version). The hd of this computer is full with Windows, applications and data. I'd like to install freebsd-current to do some work with the new three phase boot, but I want to keep all the data I have in the hd. Since the freebsd will only be used for limited purposes, I'm prepared to accept a less than optimal environment (to the extent, for example, of booting with a floppy disk). Though it was suggested to me replacing the internal hd with a bigger one, I'd have no way of transfering the data from the old hd, so I'm left with using an external hd. My first thought, a PCMCIA scsi card, was dealt a rather cruel blow when I was told no PCMCIA scsi card was supported under FreeBSD as yet. :-( So... anyone care to give any suggestions? -- Daniel C.
