Please help. The kern.flp and mfsroot.flp are exactly 1,474,560 bytes each and fit perfectly on a good floppy. I've used rawrite to make the floppies without any problems, so you could try using that. I have heard that people have had problems with dodgy disks, so try using good quality new ones if you can. (rawrite will be in /tools if it isn't in /floppies) HTH John. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
