Hey, I've been having trouble making boot floppies. In
this case, I was making floppies for Slackware, but
the problem is dd won't copy all the records even
though there's enough room.

FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE i386

su-2.05a# dd if=color.gz of=/dev/fd0
dd: /dev/fd0: Invalid argument
2605+1 records in
2605+0 records out
1333760 bytes transferred in 41.431344 secs (32192
bytes/sec)


Linux 2.4.18 i686

[emmanuel@gimpy rootdsks]$ dd if=color.gz of=/dev/fd0
2605+1 records in
2605+1 records out

I've tried using the 1.44M floppy device, different
floppies, nothing. I believe the image is 1.3M Any
idea what's wrong?
