I currently have a C: and D:  IDE drive with DOS and OS/2 Warp.  I am
installing a 340 meg SCSI drive and would like to try out BSD. ( I
actually looked at Linux first but BSD seems more compatible with my
system.)

I do no use a boot manger, but dual boot.... to change this would require
hours of rework I wish to avoid.  Is there a way I could load BSD onto the
E:(SCSI) drive and simply boot from a floppy? 

Thanks.
