I have a machine with two IDE drives and a small internet connexion. The machine is Win2k on a primary NTFS partition and a working OpenBSD on another drive. One of the drives should have enough free space to install FreeBSD, the problem is how. I could think of: o Use OpenBSD to create the FreeBSD partition and make it bootable, o Use Win2k with the same purpose, o Convert NTFS to FAT32 and try the same with MS-DOS... Unfortunately, I don't even know if that is possible on practice. Besides attaching a floppy drive, could somebody give an advice?
