No need for a boot floppy, you can always use /stand/sysinstall. (This didn't work very well in earlier releases however.) ISTR that Hellmuth Michaelis once wrote a tool that should do what you're asking for. He has probably dropped it on freefall's incoming. Ask him at hm@kts.org. (Somebody should perhaps make it an official `port' or something. So if you've tested it and found it good, ask freebsd-ports whether there's somebody willing to do the port.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
