VERY shortly (within the week) I'll be setting up a new server and
the folks here at work wanted to know if FreeBSD can be loaded from
DOS.  I have loaded Linux using loadlin.exe from DOS and am
currently doing it from Win95 at home but now.  Is there something 
similar for FreeBSD?  I really don't want to do it from FreeBSD's 
boot loader because we have computer folks that are campetent with 
the hardware but are not familiar with UN*X.  Since so much of the 
hardware these days is software configured via DOS apps. it will be 
necessary to load DOS and possibly windows at some point.
