Is there such a thing? Can one create a boot disk to boot into FreeBSD? I'm not talking about the install disk, but an actual boot disk to boot into an existing installation. I've installed FreeBSD at work on a second harddrive, with W2K on the first. To avoid totally alienating IT, I don't want to install boot easy, and my attempt to put FreeBSD on the NT boot loader were near disastrous. A simple boot disk will meet my needs, but I don't know how to make one. I don't want technical answers, just a pointer to the right documentation or port, or even if it can or cannot be done. Thanks, David p.s. I have permission to install FreeBSD behind IT's back. This isn't IT's computer, but they will be the ones to maintain the NT installation. It's a complicated story, so don't ask. p.p.s. I know about grub, and am currently using the grub "shell" to boot FreeBSD. But I would rather have a native solution. p.p.s. Thanks again.
