Date: Tue, 14 Sep 1999 14:22:45 EDT From: Alex Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG We've been trying on and off all day to build a 3.2 system on a zip disk and get the computer to boot from it. The BIOS is set to point to the drive (IDE controller wdc0, BIOS drive B) before the HD but persists in booting from the HD. I've looked around the web site but don't see any info on *bootable* zip disks. Anyone have any clues or pointers on this? ---Alex Carl Alexander ------------- MIT (where Alex hangs out): xela@mit.edu Course VI (sometime special student) SIPB (prospective) Mitgaard ("honorary mold") MITSFS LSC (night worker) http://web.mit.edu/~xela ------------- Work (where they call me 'Carl'): carl@terc.edu Systems & Network Administrator, TERC http://www.terc.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
