Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG i am having trouble building a fixit floppy - which is 2.88 M image. i can perform: dd if=fixit.flp of=/dev/fd0c (on my openbsd box) but it reaches the end of the device, writing 1.44 (obviously). when i try to use this disk, it looks like it works, but commands like 'ls' and 'mount' just print garbage to the screen. i don't know whether this is a corrupted binary or something else. thx in advance, rt ------------- rt 734-332-4562 "Most people's lives are taken up with a great many trivial things that they don't really care about, but which they feel they have to do.
