There's no floppy drive in the X series ThinkPads, so you'll end up using an USB floppy drive. This will probably lead to the same BTX loader problem as with USB CD-ROM drives. The same is probably applicable to booting from USB sticks, and I'm not even sure FreeBSD supports booting off those. AFAIK the only non-PXE alternative is using the UltraBase docking station, which has an optical drive bay connected via ATAPI. But it's rather expensive; here in .nl, it's about EUR 175 for the dock, and EUR 130 for the CD-RW/DVD drive (not even a DVD writer!!). _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
