To: questions@FreeBSD.org Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 06:15:34 -0800 (PST) Reply-To: mgix@aw.sgi.com X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL24] Content-Type: text Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have a system with both IDE and SCSI disks. I use the IDE disks for Win95/NT, and I would like to boot the FreeBSD I just installed from a floppy, the root filesystem being on the SCSI disk. Is it feasible ? It looks like FreeBSD won't boot from anything but a MBR. ________________________________________________________________________________ Emmanuel Mogenet PGP Key on Request Home Page: http://reality.sgi.com/mgix
