You need to write RAW data sector-to-sector to the floppy (if I understand the problem) using dd if=image_file of=/dev/fd0 on UNIX, or with rawrite on Windows. The resulting diskette'll contain small booting program which unpacks the rest of the data (~4M, packed to one floppy) to RAM, then starts freebsd. This diskette won't be readabe nor on Windows, neihter on *nix! -- Укрпост - продвинутая почта. http://www.ukrpost.net/ IMAP POP3 NNTP RSSNews Unicode.
