Is this why you bumped up > the fixit_crunch.conf file recently on the alpha?

As for the fixit floppy, I originally thought too that the generated size for it on Alpha should also be 1.44M. I then checked that before my change (release/fixit_crunch.conf, revision 1.28) the size of the generated crunched binary for was greater than 1.44M. I wondered. And then saw this in release/Makefile: .elif ${MACHINE_ARCH} == "alpha" BOOTSIZE= 1440 FIXITSIZE= 2880 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ MFSSIZE= 2880 Per CVS, this is dated back to 1998, release/Makefile revision 1.405. I then checked with ftp.FreeBSD.org:/pub/FreeBSD/releases/alpha/X.Y-RELEASE/floppies too.
