Hi,

I'd like to boot my Alpha 164LX running FreeBSD 5.1 from floppy instead 
of SCSI drive. Is this possible?

   The SCSI drive in my Alpha is VERY LOUD  and other scsi drives i have 
tried are loud too. So, I was thinking of  getting an IDE card and 
hooking some IDE drives to it. I did not want to use the internal IDE 
connection of the Alpha 164LX because I heard it is very slow.

Thanks for any help.
