Two questions:

I would like to install FreeBSD from an external CD-ROM connected
through a printer port.  Are the appropriate device drivers
built-in to the kernal on the boot floppy?  Or will I have
to put everything on floppies prior to installation?

Second, I am considering purchasing a TI TravelMate 4000 WinDX/50
with a 200MB IDE drive and 8MB RAM.  According to __Byte
Buyer's Guide to portable computers__ the memory architecture
for the TI travelmate is not paged, not interleaved, but
"neither".  Will this be a problem for FreeBSD.  BTW TI's tech
support has so far been useless with this question.  Thanks.
