I am wanting to format a floppy as a FreeBSD partition and make it bootable. I have looked into 'fdformat' but the floppies that I have formatted, I cant seem to mount them. It still thinks they are DOS disks I think. At least it says that they have DOS boot blocks. It keeps giving me Incorrect super blocks. This is using 2.2.5-RELEASE (or near there) So how do I make a bootable FreeBSD Floppy disk? Do I have to create a floppy image and use 'dd'? I hope not. Christopher J.
