You will be able to install FreeBSD : by using the pcmcia floppy drive. (since boot loader on the floppy : drive from BIOS, not from FreeBSD kernel) : : http://www.jp.freebsd.org/PAO/#flp : has boot floppy image with PAO support included. Yes. I'm using that to boot from. It booted fine, but the minimal install set didn't include the PAO patches, nor the source like the docs said it would. I'm not sure exactly why it didn't, but I'm working on grabbing the PAO patches to the 2.2.2R tree that I installed from migrated to the laptop and then doing a build on it. And then, once I have a supported driver for the 3C589D that I have (the boot disk says the card never comes ready), then I can NFS mount /usr/{src,obj} from my beefy build box and do a make installworld. I have a -current kernel that seems to work, but is missing the recompiled binaries... Warner
