Here are some questions I need to get straight before I go on. 1. I read the FAQ, it sounds like ATAPI cdrom is not supported, but that is the type of cdrom I am using. Do I have to copy all the files to my win95 partition? It would be good if I can get away from it since I only have about 40 MB left on that partition. 2. I have a dos partition and a linux partition on my first hard drive. I want to dedicate my entire secons hard drive to FreeBSD. Is there anyway I can install the FreeBSD bootloader on the second hard drive in another word, on its own partition? Thanks in advance. -Dong
