I know the tomsrtbt can boot from 1722KB, but appearently, this does not apply for the FreeBSD boot loader as it looks like. I tried to setup the floppy several times using FreeBSD's fdformat and Linux' format utility, but I still get 'Not ufs'. *sigh*. Also tried to booted on different machines, write the floppy on different machines and so on. I guess I will downgrade the thing to 1440 for now and fiddle around with the 1722 problem afterwards.
