Well, I'm still trying to install 5.0-RELEASE on a P200 I have here that has a CDROM, but doesn't boot from CD (only floppy or HDD). Attempts so far have been unsuccessful, since the CD can't be mounted for whatever reason when I go to start installing the OS (but that's besides the point of the floppy issue)... Floppies suck, but there's quite a number of us still stuck with them, unfortunately. -term On Friday 02 May 2003 11:34 am, Peter Schultz wrote: > Is floppy support a bad crutch for FreeBSD?
