Secondly mfsroot.flp and kern.flp are not 2048MB large. Each of them is an image of a 1.44MB floppy. You need to use rawrite or simular to write them to a floppy. They do not go onto a MS-Dos FAT formated floppy. -- Regards, Ulf. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ulf Zimmermann, 1525 Pacific Ave., Alameda, CA-94501, #: 510-865-0204 You can find my resume at: http://seven.Alameda.net/~ulf/resume.html
