Hi... apologies if this is a FAQ question.

I've got BSD on my hard drive, and am interested in installing it in a
peaceful coexistence idea with Windows variants (among other things) -- my
reading of the Install FAQ though, indicates that I need to dump the pieces
to floppy, and that this is my only option.  Is this true?

I'd like to install from my hard drive, beyond the boot disk of course, or
perhaps from a new partition... does anyone have any sympathy or ideas?

Thanks in any event...

Cam
