Hello,
I have a question to which I am hoping there is a simple solution.
I've got an old notebook (IBM Thinkpad 560X) and I'd like to install
FreeBSD. I don't have a CD-ROM, floppy drive, or bootable PCMCIA
drive. My hard drive has nothing on it at the moment.
Can I image something onto the hard drive in order to install FreeBSD
over FTP, serial, or directly from the hard drive? I have removed the
hard drive and have the proper adapters to connect it to a regular
desktop PC. What to do next?
Do the install on a desktop machine, then put the disk back in the
laptop. It should boot and run just fine assuming that the drivers
you need are in the generic kernel. If they aren't, you might have
to build a new kernel before it will work in the laptop.

Thanks!
