As far as I know, this should work. The installation process works off of SCSI HDDs (I believe, never done it), and to FreeBSD, a SCSI Jaz looks just like any other SCSI disk. Your SCSI driver must be supported. The Jaz disk must have a FreeBSD readable filesystem (any M$ FAT will do). And the diretories must be arranged as outlined in the "How to Install from a DOS Partition" installation istructions. Assuming your HDDs are not SCSI, the typical Jaz drive will be device da0s4. -- Crist J.
