Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I found no documentation concerning the building of a boot disk. I have to build such a disk since I _can't_ use a boot manager, and apparently there is no way to boot FreeBSD directly from Windows or DOS in the way of loadlin for example. So, how do i build a boot disk or is there an alternative way? I hope I could receive the answer quickly, this is pretty urgent. The question can also be added to the FreeBSD FAQ, and it should, I'm quite sure there is others with the same problem, but please, answer using e-mail too. -- Systems expert http://www.netmill.fi/ Tommi.Leino@netmill.fi tel. +358-9-612 623 43 Netmill Information Technology fax. +358-9-612 623 11 Neitsytpolku 5, FIN-00140 Helsinki mobile +358-50-339 1334 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
