OK, so what's the deal for people with 1.44MB floppies? Two separate floppies? I know about kern.flop (well, I haven an idea). If boot.flp has a month to live, why are you expending so much effort on it, and what will the replacement be called? I need to submit an update to ``The Complete FreeBSD'' Real Soon Now, and it would be nice if what I said were correct.
