I want to install bsd on my older computer (p90) = that doesn't support large disks,( I also want to dual boot with win95) = at present I have one small drive 540mb and one 20gig and overcome this = with segate disk management that enables me to boot off a floppy if I = want to and boot into win95 but won't be happy if I overwrite the mbr = .So I guess my question is this How do I make a boot floppy for bsd when = I install it?or is there a more elegant way? Hopefully simon sharratt
