How do i create a boot disk and root filesystem disk for my system now that i have it configured how i want it ? Is there a command similar to 'mkdev fd' in SCO that allows you to create these disks ? Or is FreeBSD more flexible. ie if i boot from a standard boot disk, can i just write everything back from tape to bring the system back to how it was pre-crash. (assuming a system/disk crash had occured) Regards, Craig.
