boot for diskette

[Sniper]

I have read somewhere in this forum that I can install an OS on the hdd partition, and bootloader (freeloader) on a 3,5 floppy disk.
Is it true? And if "yes" than how I can make it run?

p.s I already "cut" from my fully NTFS hdd a small partition and format it with FAT32 and ready for Installation process %)

While first step of the ReactOS setup, you can choose to either install FreeLoader ...

1) in MBR
2) on a floppy
3) don't install FreeLoader at all.

Can I boot ReactOS without having Freeloader installed?

I think not, because, either way it has to find it...
I think, maybe unless you would use GRUB and have the BOOT.INI file witha ll your settings, I don't know...nahh forget it, you just can't, I think...

There is a work in a progress for supporting ntldr but it's only available on svn. Maybe on next release version or the one after that will support ntldr.
