Hello! I haven't gotten the chance to use FreeBSD yet, do I figured I would grab an old 486 and install it. Now, I just have a few questions before installation. First of all, the computer doesn't have a working Cd-Rom drive, so I am going to have to use floppies to install it, but is it possible to put all the files I would need onto the harddrive, and then install directly from it, rather than using just floppies? It says a bit about this in the handbook and install.txt/htm, but I just want to make sure I understand before copying files over to the other computer for hours. Okay, now the second question, which I also found a bit of info on in the handbook, but want to make sure I understand before actually installing. I have a second harddrive which I want to install FreeBSD on, so I just need to make sure to have a Primary partition on the second drive, and install it there, right? At times in the instructions, it says to copy all the files to the C: and install it there, but I already have another OS there, and want FreeBSD to go on the second harddrive. Sorry for asking questions which the instructions probably answer, but I just want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I install it. Thanks!
