Thanks to Darren Wiebe, I'm now an official FBSD freaking newbie ... with all the bloody baggage (not much I hope). my box has: wd0 at wdc0 --->win95 (with Ontrack Drive Overlay) wd1 at wdc0 ---> 100% 3.3-Release (no Boot Manager) What do I need to do to boot my new install from a floppy. I've never seen it yet!! I tried doing the kern.flp trick after the initial install, but of course i just got back into the installation program. Do I have to go like hell during that 9 second "window" and input some booting commands? Can I make a "boot" floppy? TIA!! later..........duke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
