I am trying to make new boot floppies so I can install Freebsd on another machine. When I try to: dd if=./kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 I get a "Device not configured" Error. A good, new floppy is in the drive. I have tried several new floppies. Same result. Checked dmesg and the floppy controller is recognized, etc. what am I not doing right ? thanks, -Darryl
