Two quick questions:

Does any have a Sound Blaster CD-200F 2X CD-ROM working? This was my 
biggest stumbling block in getting Linux running on my system. I didn't 
see it listed in the hardware list, but if anyone has a driver or wants 
someone to test a beta driver let me know.

Is it possible to install any version of FreeBSD from an ext2 partition? 
I have Linux running on my machine so boot strapping from there would be 
fairly simple if there is an install that works that way. 

TIA,

Mark
