Hi.... thanks to everyone who responded, Esp Tim D. on my question
about removing the FBSD boot manager. A plain old DOS FDISK /MBR
zapped it, and left my BSD installation untouched.
Problem is.... yet again, I needed a dang DOS boot disk. I've been
thinking for years it would be cool to have a boot CD-Rom instead,
that could load up into a ram disk, yada, yada....
Well someone already did it, and did a damn thorough job: The
Ultimate Boot CD http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ is a must-have
piece of free-ware for anyone maintaining "win-tel" PCs, regardless
of the operating system in use. See the site for a complete
list. But basically the guy has pulled together dozens of
manufacturer specific diagnostics, firmware flashers, etc onto one CD
that can run them directly, or get you a shell in dos or linux, and
be able to mount pretty much any file system out there. Good
Stuff! Check it out. And [maybe] finally trash those floppies for good.
