Well, I don't have experience making bootable FreeBSD floppies... it might be more useful for me to grab a small spare HDD and install 4.9 on it.

I could probably come up with something. Would it have to be installed in the machine, or just available on the network? Unfortunately I don't remember how much data was used on that drive so I don't know what my goal is. :(
