I just tried that. # dd if=floppies/kern.flp of=/dev/rfd0 dd: /dev/rfd0: Input/output error 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 2.744556 secs (0 bytes/sec) bummer. For me, this is a matter of curiousity as opposed to needing disks. I *can* make them with fdimage. But not with dd. I think this tells me the disk is rooted: May 1 15:21:50 ns /kernel: fd0: recal failed ST0 70 cyl 0 May 1 15:21:51 ns last message repeated 3 times May 1 15:21:51 ns /kernel: fd0c: hard error writing fsbn 0 (No status) I'll keep trying floppies. -- Dan Langille - DVL Software Limited The FreeBSD Diary - http://www.FreeBSDDiary.org/freebsd/ NZ FreeBSD User Group - http://www.nzfug.nz.freebsd.org/ The Racing System - http://www.racingsystem.com/racingsystem.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
