  Anyone ever see a utility to make/build a emergency boot disk for 
freebsd?  Anyone inclined to do such a thing?
  I backup my entire LAN to a exabyte 8mm DAT on a NT server, which 
works fine using SAMBA, but to restore it .. a re-install re-config etc 
is needed, where a basic OS bootup and SAMBA is all thats needed (or at 
least so it seems, I could be waaaaaaaay off base). 8-)
