You can't generally boot from a PCMCIA card, so I expect that this would not work, no. If your system does support booting from the PCCARD (unlikely, but possible), FreeBSD would require some modifications before being able to boot thusly. You could put a small FreeBSD partition on your internal disk, install FreeBSD there and then use the Jaz drive for other things. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
