It appears there is a problem with rawrite and the FreeBSD boot images. I can boot from a FreeBSD disk made with dd on a Sun Sparcstation (like the one's we made earlier today), and I can boot Linux from a floppy made with either rawrite-1.2, rawrite-1.3, or dd on a Sun. However, I can not boot FreeBSD from a floppy made with rawrite-1.2 (from Sunsite) or from rawrite-1.3 (from the FreeBSD-2.0 cdrom). On boot, the SCSI drivers probe the bus and recognize my disk and cdrom, the bios successfully loads, and the A drive is accessed momentarily. Then, MS-DOS starts from the C drive. No complaint about non-system disk. Obvious questions I can answer: disk media is good, is formatted, is of the correct type, and source files are of the correct size with matching checksums. I will be of very little help to Justin unless we can get this resolved since I would only be able to make boot disks at work. :-( Travis
