I know the tomsrtbt can boot from 1722KB, but appearently, this does
not apply for the FreeBSD boot loader as it looks like. I tried to setup
the floppy several times using FreeBSD's fdformat and Linux' format
utility, but I still get 'Not ufs'. *sigh*. Also tried to booted on
different machines, write the floppy on different machines and so on.
I guess I will downgrade the thing to 1440 for now and fiddle around with
the 1722 problem afterwards.

Ferdinand
