Hi,

I have this old laptop laying around. Currently is has no CD drive and
i'd hate to rely on floppies. It does have a working PCMCIA eth card
and a minimal OpenBSD that sees my LAN.

I can't access its BIOS and i doubt it has one... these laptops used
to have the bios in a hdd partition and this one got a new drive a
while ago. So, i'm kinda stranded on that but i doubt it supported PXE
(my initial idea) anyway. The floppies i have laying around for the
bios utilities are kinda corrupted and won't help much - creating a
new bios partition would require unalocated diskspace anyway. Any
suggestions for giving this laptop a bios would be appreciated.

So then i decided maybe the bootloader could support PXE or some other
form of booting, but i'm still searching for BSD stuff on that
matter...

Any suggestions?

TIA,
Nuno Magalhães
