[syslinux] booting FreeBSD

[Shaun]

Ya copied the contents, here's what i did, pretty simple but i'm not really 
a bsd guy and i found the instructions on a ML somewhere...

dd if=/dev/zero of=fbsd54.img bs=1k count=25k
mdconfig -a -t vnode -f fbsd54.img -u0
bsdlabel -w -B md0 auto
bsdlabel -Ae md0
newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 md0a
mount /dev/md0a /mnt
*copy the files from the mounted bootonly iso image to /mnt*
umount /mnt
mdconfig -d -u0


Then put the following in your default (or whatever you use)
LABEL freebsd54
 KERNEL memdisk
 APPEND initrd=fbsd54.img c=812 h=255 s=63

Again, the image could be way smaller, i was just in a hurry when i built 
this image and havnt taken the time yet to make a smaller image and 
calculate the c/h/s values.
