Will the 2.1.0 boot.flp and fixit.flp work on a 2.0.5 system? The drive in question must not be the boot disk if you can boot from it. You should be OK using the 2.1.5 (or earlier if you can get a hold of them) boot/fixit floppies. Note that 2.1 and after, you boot the boot.flp first then choose the 'fixit' option and stick the fixit floppy in to get to the prompt. > Does anyone know where boot.flp and fixit.flp for 2.0.5 could be downloaded? Someone maintains an archive site of old BSD versions. They might have it. I don't have the address, sorry.
