Hi everyone,

now that 2.1-R is out, I'm thinking about installing FreeBSD. However, I 
still have the following questions:

How does FreeBSD handle SyQuest removable drives? I have an SQ3270 (the IDE
version of the 270meg drive), and use both 105meg and 270meg cartridges. Is
it possible to mount/unmount cartridges of *different* sizes while the 
system is running?

Does FreeBSD support graphics *w/o* X? (In other words: Is there 
something like Linux' svgalib?) I want to preview .dvi files graphically, 
but I don't have the computer and monitor to comfortably run X.

Thank you for your help,
-mat
