Ok, this may sound strange, and I will try to explain it as best I
can.

My system currently boots from my IDE drive, which has Win95 on it.
The disk is relatively small, and would like to keep BSD off the IDE
if at all possible, therefore I would like to dedicate a 1GB SCSI
drive for BSD.  Here's my problem.  How can I install BSD on my SCSI
drive, and boot to it from my IDE drive?

My SCSI adapter is an Adaptec AH1542CF, if that's of any help.

I have 5 other SCSI devices on the AH1542 as well.

Please email or post responses.

Thanks,
Kent
