I'm gradually migrating legacy aps off my older NT server and I think it might be extremely interesting to install FreeBSD on that machine once it is free--if only I could persuade it to boot from diskette (for some reason, the diskette drive no longer seems to be recognized by the OS). It's an old HP Vectra, but like all vintage HP high-end machines, it still works perfectly, after nearly a decade of continuous use. Can anyone tell me how to install FreeBSD on a machine that is running Windows NT and refuses to boot from CD or from diskette? I don't suppose there's any magic program I could run from NT that would start a FreeBSD installation, is there? -- Anthony
