| Speaking of fixit media, is there still a fixit CD image ?  My new
| laptop has (amongst it's other minor problems) a USB floppy, which
| works to boot/install from, but sysinstall doesn't see it as a floppy
| for use with the fixit floppy (it appears as da0).
|
| Now, I do have a bootable cdrom drive, so a bootable fixit CD with an
| image on it would be very useful to me - is there one (to purchase
| or an image), which sysinstall can use as the "live" image ?
|
| Can I just burn a CD with boot.flp as the boot image and the
| filesystem from my existing machine and expect it to work ?

I don't know about the latter half of that, but I have used the 2.88 mb
image as the boot floppy for an ISO disk image when doing FTP
installations.  Works great.  I'd love to have CD rescue disk that was
updatable to STABLE kernels and could have my mix of devices, editors,
etc.
