However, I'm uncertain of how far that extends. I'd recomend sending this to -questions, they know this stuff in-and-out. > b) Use FreeBSD with a FAT32 > drive? At the very least, it can read, most likely write too. Haven't tested it out yet.. > c) Dual Boot Win98 and > FreeBSD? If so, how? FreeBSD comes with a boot loader, forget its name though. Its very similar to Linux's lilo, which is useful as an OS pointer. I have it pointing to Win98/pcdos, linux (freebsd cds went bad), NT4, and Solaris (free.. never got it to point correctly though..). In Lilo, you simply add stanzas telling it a label, a partition, and perhaps something else I'm forgetting.. someone else will answer with more knowledge, and the handbook likely has some good info too.
