Hi

I need to reformulate the question I made before.

I have a small and non-standard pc; in order to avoid conflicts between the
FreeBSD install process and the BIOS, I had to remove the USB-boot support
(cd/floppy) from the BIOS.

So My only chance now is to perform a remote install (FTP to FreeBSD
desktop). However I only have the Hard Disk and a Compact Flash card as
primary and secondary boot devices. (Drives "C" and "D" under DOS)

Question: How can I make the HD or the CF bootable in order to start the
FreeBSD setup?
Also, may the 'bsdboot.com' program found on tools/bsdboot be of any help?

Thanks in advance.

Rafael.
