Someone told me that this isn't possible with FreeBSD. Is he correct or incorrect? I checked the FAQ and didn't find the answer. Also is there a way of making a floppy boot disk that will automagicly boot to BSD without the user having to type in anything. I know in Linux I can use "dd" to copy the kernel to the disk. Does this work in FreeBSD? Is there another way?
