I remember reading how some people were getting around the pnp device
problem by booting into dos, configuring their devices, and then booting
into FreeBSD from there.  What program was used to boot FreeBSD from
dos?

I've been experimenting with the pnp stuff being written, also, but
wanted to get this method, too.

Thanks,

Greg
