I have two IDE hard drives and ZIP and Jazz drives connected to an adaptec 2940 controller. I want to install freeBSD on the Jazz drive and use a floppy disk to boot to free BSD. I had no problem doing this with Linux. I do not want FreeBSD or anyone else mucking with the boot record of my hard drive. I can't find how to do this anywhere, I have read the docs, searched www.freebsd.org, and searched the newsgroups with dejanews and all I find is people with similar questions and no answers. So... after I have installed to the Jazz drive, how to I make a floppy that will boot to FreeBSD when I place the floppy in drive A: and turn on my machine. Or... is this too difficult for free bsd? Should I just return my CD's to walnut creek? Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
