OK....Let me start over...What dd does is copy the disk as is (so 2 speak)...ota Now when you made a dd copy to the hard drive, it is in freebsd format... Place a dos format floppy in the drive a: Now when you dd copy the file from the hard drive to the floppy it will over write the format of dos and make it a freebsd format,,,automatic,,,,, so now the dos disk is a freebsd disk.... so you do not need to format the disk for freebsd at all... You this a little clearer....just forget the format step all together... and where did you get the -l from..... E-Mail: khan@ibm.net Date: 14-Mar-97 Time: 12:32:32 ----------------------------------
