seems like a simple solution. Where would I get a adapter to do this, or
would I have to construct it.

Subject: Re: Installing on to a laptop with no CD-Rom.
this isn't a direct answer, but what i did recently for a 386 laptop, was to
just take the harddrive, stick it in a pc with net and/or cdrom, install
fbsd, then put back in the laptop.
this however would require an adaptor to allow a standard ide cable to plug
into the laptop drive.
anyway.. a suggestion.. which worked well for me
good luck!

They don't have a CD-rom or modems.
I would like to install 4.1 on them. I have FreeBSD 4.1 running on two
Desktop machines, I was wondering if there is anyway I can connect the PC
and the Notebooks via the serial ports to install from the CD on my PC. Or
am I stuck until I get an external CD-ROM.
