Can someone point me to a tutorial on creating a 4.3 boot floppy? Specifically, I want to boot from a floppy and be able to run disklabel from the same floppy to edit the partition table on my hard drive that includes my /usr partition. I've tried doing this from a hard drive boot, even from single user mode, but the problem is that disklabel uses vi to edit the label. vi and it's required libraries are on /usr and I can't edit the partition while it's mounted. And when it's not mounted, disklabel doesn't work because vi doesn't work. Or if anyone has any better ideas, I'm all ears.
