Can I install FreeBSD 3.2 so that it's bootable from a floppy?? I'd
like to put it in a new partition on my Win PC separate (or course) from
all others, and would rather not try to fool around with the MBR, boot
sectors, and such for startup.
I believe I've heard this is one of the options that's available when
doing the installation, but wasn't sure. And that when it's done, I
believe you can give at the boot: prompt something like
wd(2,c)/kernel
to give it directions to the BSD partition. Is this the way it works??
I can do this kind of a thing with RH Linux 5.2, but wanted to confirm
that it's also an option with FreeBSD.
