To: undisclosed-recipients:; Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm trying to prepare a FIXIT 1.44" floppy from DOS using the same procedure specified in the installation instructions which successfully produced a boot floppy. My source is the Walnut Creek CD-ROM ver. 2.1.7. After grinding away for a bit, fdimage complains, "Sector not found". I interpret that as meaning that there is no more room. I note that the size of the FIXIT image is 1,228,800 while the size of the BOOT image is only 1,136,128. I thought that a disk image had to be exactly the size of the disk as it is just a bit for bit image of the disk. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help. ... doug ______________________________________________________________________________ Doug Jolley mailto://doug@cybernautics.net http://www.cybernautics.net Don't bogart that file, my friend.
