The SCSI controller I use is supported by FreeBSD, but it does not come with boot options, so I must use a boot floppy, and under Linux that always worked fine. To my surprise however, I was not offered (or? I did not find?) a chance to create a boot disk. Is there a place where I can download one or two floppies to start FreeBSD from? I have the full 4.4 CD set but it's not on there, is it? Thanx for any help! Rick van Rein.
