Subject: Floppy set to boot sd2a ?
Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG
Precedence: bulk
X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG


I would like to try FreeBSD but I know (almost) nothing about it.  I don't  
have a spare computer to play with, so I've got to put it on my "main"  
computer.

I've been lurking a bit, I have some CDs coming my way, but I have a  
question that I haven't been able to find an answer for:

My setup is that I have 1 computer which currently boots Windows95 off sd0a  
and OpenStep (aka NeXTStep) off sd1a.

I would like to put FreeBSD on sd2a and have it not touch the current setup.

Is there a way I can make something like a boot floppy or a kick floppy or  
something that I can put into A:\ and when the machine boots, it says "Hey,  
goto sd2a and boot off that drive... ignore all the other drives." ??

If so, how?

Thanks

TjL
