I have FreeBSD 2.2.1 on CD-ROM. I want to install FreeBSD onto a Compaq (w/486 processor)running MS-DOS (I would like to install from the running MS-DOS system). The CD-ROM I use is a Toshiba XM-4100A mounted on MS-DOS through the parallel port using Trantor T348 Parallel SCSI Host. My queestion is do I need to create a boot floppy? Or, can I boot directly from MS-DOS? And finally, will the FreeBSD kernel find/recognize the CD-ROM connected to the parallel port (using either the floppy of direct method)? Any insight found be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
