I've installed FBSD on a SyJet and it worked fine. It was just a quick
test on a friends SyJet, so I didn't get a lot of work on it.
The SyQuest drives are complete SCSI disks, unlink Zip drives, and need
no special drivers (like old optical disks).

Why would you need this? I installed it to use the entire disk (but remain
compatible with other OS's), you don't really need booteasy.
Unless you want to boot easy from a different disk into the SyJet disk.
That I can't help you with.

Having the CD is a must. Consider doing a subscription, it'll save you
$15.
