I have an HP Vectra with a strange bios, and for some reason I can't boot off of the hard drive in freebsd, I need to do odd things from the boot prompt of a boot floppy. I once tried installing linux in another partition just so I could boot off of freebsd with lilo, but I couldn't get linux to recognize the freebsd partitions even though I compiled in UFS support on the boot floppies (linux). so, anyway what I would like to do is create a floppy disk that will boot from a freebsd kernel sitting on the first slice of the master IDE hard drive, nothing complicated, I read how to create a floppy in /etc/disktab and read the man pages on boot and ran disklabel but I must be doing something wrong.
