Hi, I am interested in getting some info on the boot requirements for FreeBSD. I have a system with a minimal system BIOS and I want to boot FreeBSD. Is there a ROM boot module available so that I don't have to write an IDE interface to boot ? If not, what is the minimum disk support required ? Would IDE Read be sufficient ... or would I have a major overhaul on the kernel loader ? I can add any system BIOS interrupts required ... but I need to know the minimum ... roughly. (system memory available ... etc...) Could someone point me in the right direction to look ... I will definately upload a ROM bootable module if there is not one available. Thanks in advance.
