I am going to give freebsd my whole hd, no other partitions. I have been told by you guys already that it is not neccessary to format my c: before installing freebsd, that I can do that during the installation. But the thing that I dont understand is: 1. I am installing freebsd via cd-rom. 2. i am starting the installation via boot floppy 3. once in the installtion, will freebsd provide cd-rom device drivers? because I will be deleting my ms-dos drivers. well, let me know
