I am not sure FreeBSD will boot from a SCSI :floppy either. If you did have a SCSI floppy drive and a SCSI CD drive, then :FreeBSD probably would not boot from either drive. I installed FreeBSD from my SCSI CDROM drive on my old FIC PA-2007 with no problem. A bootable CD is a bootable CD. While there is such a thing as a SCSI floppy drive, I don't have one. I don't have a floppy drive at all. I have the LS-120, which is IDE (if I could have found a SCSI version, I'd have it instead). The LS-120 uses standard 3.5" floppy disks or the 120MB UHD floppies. It replaces a traditional floppy drive.
