Nothing I found in the documentation indicated this, or gave any sort hint as to how I might go about doing it. The Linux driver has a hacked version of Lilo that has to be installed prior to even thinking of doing anything with the flash, but I found no equivelent for FreeBSDs boot1. FreeBSD can mount the disks just fine (I used a custom PicoBSD boot floppy to fix up the Linux install on the flash disk enough so that it would boot (the stupid script M-Systems provided installed a completely hosed system!)). This sort of information might be handy to have on freebsd.org. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
