How can I boot freebsd without using the bootloader in the mbr? I have installed it already but I couldn't find any way to make a bootdisk and the partition is above the 1024 limit, is it common to boot freebsd from a floppy permanently? On the 3.3 stable cd there are some images, I tried fixit but I could't figure out the root parition some 0:wd(2b)/kernel I think, it's on the third partition of the first ide disk and I think the swapfile comes first cause I did an auto filesystem config. If I could only look ;-) Worst of all I have backupped data on another freebsd partition :-( but that is inaccesible because winARGH! destroyed the mbr. Can you reply to me directly it's web based mail and the volume of the list is pretty big.
