Peckham) NNTP-Posting-Host: drei.lkg.dec.com X-Newsreader: mxrn 6.18-4 I am maintaining several systems on a 486/50 served by a 2.3GB NFS file server. I currently have: 345MB disk #0 P 10MB MS-DOS 6.2 P 10MB DRDOS 6.0 P 1MB OS/2 Boot loader E 30MB Linux PL14 w/NFS mounted /usr E 30MB (available) E 50MB OS/2 2.1 E 100MB Windows NT E 92MB Windows 130MB disk #1 (backed up data disk) P=primary partition E=extended logical drive I have 386BSD with all patch kits and the mods to run diskless, so currently it boots off floppy and therafter runs off the file server. I was hoping that I could load FreeBSD onto the 30MB slot, with most of the file system on the file server, but I don't see how to do this. As a back up, can't the installation be fixed so that I can install it on my second disk and then I can copy it to the first, bootable by the OS/2 boot loader? Thanks, Alan Peckham
