You can have a small partition and install the boot image (3MB) on it with the same tool you can use for writing the floppies. I have used this trick on a linux computer using the swap space of the computer. Hi. Thanks for your answer. I tried to do that but the program can only copy images (.flp files) into floppies, so (seems) it is unuseful for any other media. I think I will have to put the disk into a laptop, and install there. I hope I can find one...

Alternate Boot
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. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
Alternate boot
Hello everyone. I am trying to install FreeBSD on a (non-standard) machine that can't boot from cds and also lacks floppy drive. The machine can boot dos. The question: Is there anyway to make a Hard disk bootable in order to start the FreeBSD installation program?
