Example 1. I've heard that somebody was using FreeBSD on Fujitsu Intertop (http://www.fujitsu.co.jp/hypertext/news/1997/Jun/3e.html). It has only Compact Flash slot and Type II PCMCIA slot, and it has no HDD's in it. I remember that this PC can't boot from FDD, so I think that the compact flash was fdisked, disklabeled and injected FreeBSD from the other PC with PC-card slot. Example 2. There's a port of FreeBSD to NEC Mobile Gear (http://www.psinfo.nec.co.jp/mg/mk.htm, in Japanese only, but the image is available), CGA-like pocket PC and it has only Flash ATA slot, not HDD. -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi Network Technology Center Keio University hosokawa@ntc.keio.ac.jp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
