Greetings,
   I have a couple of quick questions...

1. How can one access an extended partition on the hdd. 

2. Linux has a feature called ide-scsi which is a transport for programs like 
cdrecord to be able to use IDE CD-R and CD-RW burners.  Is there such a beast
in FreeBSD, or is there another solution that would work with IDE burners?

3. back in 2.2.x there was an interface to support a floppy tape (ft0)
which I need to access my Iomega Ditto Easy 3200.  I saw in some of
the FreeBSD documentation that this is an unsupported feature, and was 
just wondering how to enable it.

I am looking to switch over to FreeBSD from Linux permanently, and also get 
rid of Windows.  So far 3.1 release has thouroughly impressed me both with
speed and support for my somewhat unique system setup.  Great Job to all 
that have worked on this project and keep up the good work!

Thanks in Advance,
Mark
