I would like to install FreeBSD beside my existing Linux setup
such that I can boot either kernel at boot time.

So far I have not found the kernel source, though I have found
source for most everything else.  I have only looked in cdrom.com.
I need to know:
	1.  Will this work?  I would add the bsd kernel to my existing
	    Linux boot manager (LILO).
	2.  Where is the kernel source package?  I want to ftp it
	    not buy it, if possible.
	3.  Does bsd support the Adaptec aha152x scsi host adapter?
	    I have seen the 154x and 174x listed but not the 152x.
	4.  Does bsd support the old Mitsumi single speed cd drives?

Any info would be appreciated.

Bill
I am set up to run Linux from my scsi zip drive and could rub out
the setup on my hard drive if needed but would like to avoid that.
